Default Pacific Northwest tuner?

I am getting my car back and it will likely need a tune update. I live in AK and I have my own version of HP tuners but I am a beginner at best. Is there a reputable tuner that takes scans and can help me out?

Any tune would likely be completed via mail since Im in AK. Not looking to drive to washington and have anything done. I can fumble through HP tuners but would like a professional to do it.

Tom Wong is simply OK, nothing spectacular, I speak from experience (x2).
Given your Alaska location contact East coast superchargers, they do a pretty fine job with a mail order tune if you call and provide specifics, again, I speak from experience. Good luck Hoss.

I might have expected something like that from you, Ken. Very good actually. I'll explain it to Walter later.

Actually there was a local fellow, European, judging from his accent. Guy by the name of Oppernokity. Strange older guy, but I used him to tune one of my Porsches. He did pretty well and the price was right, but the car just didn't feel the same so I took it back to him a couple of days later.

He acknowledged the problem but refused to do anything about it. Apparently, Oppernokity only tunes once.

Okay, your turn.

To the rest of you, my apologies...

I get Ken's....but whose gonna explain yours to me?

There's something familiar about your reference to a "strange older guy"?
Sounds familiar.... Oh, now I remember, wasn't that the way the children described you in that deposition....whoops, never mind.
