George Baxter and our own Injuneer used these guys.

They can tune anything from mustangs to LT1's. They don't have the LS1 software yet as far as I know but if you LS1 guys out there have the software they will tune it for you.
Very knowledgeable folks.

Re: DYNO tuning for LT1 in tristate area???

I need dyno tuning not mail in order tuning. I know that Brian and Ion do great mail in order tuning for simple setup, but I have H/C, injectors, TB etc, so I think that it will be much better if I will just find good dyno tuning place...

Brian is located near Allentown and does meet people for tuning. You'd have to contact him as far as pricing and availabilty.

Go with Bryan Herter for the dyno tune, you won't be disappointed. I'd stay away from JD's in Huntingdon Valley PA though, his prices are outrageous. If you are willing to drive a little ways there's a place about 45 minutes to the west of Philly that charges $75 an hour for tuning time on the dyno. MUCH better than $175-225 an hour like at most other places.

Fastbird is prolly talking about Xotic Motorsports (http://www.xoticmotorsports.com). They seem to be a popular choice for dyno days.

You guys are soo funny! Do you know why JD's cost what it does? Becasue all of the GM tunes from there are done by Bryan Herter!!! If you talk to Bryan he will suggest that you could meet him there! That's where I met him when I wiped out my PCM, when I was there I talked to both of them JD and Bryan, JD said he does the Ford and other tuning and Bryan does all the GM tuning..

But yes Bryan will come out to whatever shop you would like I have seen him at Exotic before as well as others, but you need to understand something..
A place that charges 75 for dyno time, might charge more for wide band, and you will definitely pay more for tuning. And if you go somewhere that is cheep to use the dynop and have someone like Bryan to come out then you have to pay for his time above the price of the dyno. Just call him or JD's and talk to him you won't be disapointed!

Why, oh why, did I get smacked for $225 for three pulls with wide band on my car by JD's then, when A: Byran doesn't tune 93's and B: no tuning was done, it was just baseline pulls. JD's prices for three pulls is outrageous. Same as SLP's ($175 IIRC), same as the shop putting one in here in Atco (guy flat out told me he's going to charge $175 for 3 pulls with W/B). Xotic is the way to go.
