He gave me the tuner's information they use on all of their race engines but he is located in Tennessee. I have talked with the guy from Spartan in the past when I had nitrous on the car but really do not know much about him or their shop. I need someone reliable and someone who can re-tune the car if I don't make the numbers I am shooting for. My current setup:

Stock LS3
LS9 cam
76mm single turbo
8psi spring in wastegate (hoping for 7.5-8psi total boost)
80lbs Bosch injectors on stock 1LE/ZL1 fuel pump
NO METH and NO E85. PUMP gas only.

My goals are for 625whp and 600ish torque on pump gas. If for some reason the LS9 cam cannot achieve this then I will go another route and upgrade. It should make the power no problem from all the research I have done but want the option as a back up. This is where I will need a good tuner and the option for a re-tune if I change parts. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
I was going to go with Vengeance for my tune as well until I was quoted $590 for a dyno tune for just headers and CAI. I even mentioned the forum and didn't get any discount. I know they do great work but I think they're more interested in the Corvette market as of late.

I've done some research and talked to Josh at Spartan LSX and will be using him. He's knowledgeable and his prices are more than fair. He also had some cars put up great numbers at the Vengeance dyno day.
