You could easily make the drive to Houston or Dallas and get a tune or you could stay in Waco and save way more money and have my buddy tune it. He doesn't have a dyno, but his tune on my Camaro proved to be a little better than some dyno tunes I've seen. To be able to just tune my car and run 12.49 with just a CAI and stock manifolds...yeah he knows what hes doing

Do it up right.. And two of the best CAIs out there are ADM and CAI.

Hope this helps.
That helps a ton. Didn't have much time to spend looking at companies this weekend as I was helping my parents out a majority of the time with their house. Definitely going to be taking a look at all of those companies!

Lots of good options. If you can make it to Houston for Matt@FSP that is great, he is one of the best.

I have a short list of people I would let touch my tune
Matt@FSP
Dave@DSX
Howard@Redline
Ed Hutchings
Fran@RPM
Ryne@CMS
Louis@LG

That is about it, but I'm picky. There are a lot of decent tuners out there. Make sure to talk to a bunch of people and I wouldn't use forums as the only way to get into since forums are censored/sponsored. You only get the good. Goto local car meets/etc and talk to people and get first hand reviews where people aren't afraid to tell the truth.

Bout the same as Wichita. Justin Kalwei in KC is about the only option.
