Supercharger tuning

I am in Roanoke Virginia and am looking to get my car tuned. Can someone recommend a good tuner shop around my area? I spoke with Mark tonight from Turbo Tune in Greensboro NC and he seemed pretty knowledgeable, very impressive. Has anyone dealt with him or know anyone around this area that is good.
Thanks
Scott

John Sealock at Woodbridge Dynotech in Stafford VA. I dyno tune up there. Tons of data acquisition, dual widebands. Great guy and very knowledgable. Works on tons of blown f-bodies and mustangs. Decades of race experience.

www.woodbridgedynotech.com give John a call.

email me if you need more info, I live in central Virginia.

I have been to mark at Turbo Tune before, and he does know "some" stuff, but not too knowledgeable with LT1's. He is really good with grand nationals. Anyway he did tune my car with no retard, but his air/fuel meter was messing up so, I don't know how he is with fuel tables, which I imagine would be more difficult than taking out timing. But all in all if you want a OK tune, check him out, but if you had another option I would take it. BTW, I went last May so he could of got more experience since then.

Hey Scott,

Yeah you looked familiar to me also, are you Gonzo's friend? (Scott A?)

John charges just $90/hr dynoing with full data acquisition support including dual wideband sensors, fuel pump pressure/ boost pressure. He has all versions of LT1edit/ LS1 edit and allows us to use them during dynotuning. John's been racing longer than I've been alive, and his experience really shows.

I offer my tuning services to speed up the process, email me at cmillard@crutchfield.com for more info.

You can check John's schedule by giving him a call at:

540-752-1600.

We have customers come from all over (DC, MD, NC, WV) that are very happy with the service. The good thing about dialling in with a dyno and data acquisition is you know the car is set up an ready to race without concerns of going lean or detonation. We can experiment until you get the best proven performance, and that's what it's all about.

Talk to you soon,
-Christian

Christian, I dont think I know gonzo, I think we replied back and forth through so emails about tuning. How far are you from Roanooke? I will give him a call later on this afternoon and see what he can do. I need this done bad and quick. I just got the car started the day before yesterday and it wont get out of its own way. I hope I dont run into any stock cars!

Hey Scott, Roanoke is about 2 - 2.5 hours from Charlottesville, and John's about 1.5 hours from here. It's well worth the drive.

Definitely give John a call he says pretty busy,

Hope this helps,
