Default Where in the world??

Hello to all.
I'm in need of help. Where in the world can I fine a tuner for my 85? I have a 383 stroker engine that needs the finishing touch on the current tune. I've been looking for a shop the can dyno tune and burn a new chip for my car. It seems that not many tuners are tunning 85 with the stock ECU. My car still uses the stock ECU with a custom mail order chip from Alvin at PCM FOR LESS. That tune has the car running very rich according to the dyno sheet.I added LT headers after the tune. I had the car dyno'd sometime after the mail order tune so I can get a better tune, but I never gotaroundto getting it tuned until now. I'm looking for a shop in the Tenn. / Kentucky area that can tune my car. I live in the Clarksville, Tenn. (I'm Stationed at Ft Campbell). Here are the details of my engine. I don't plan on making any major modification to the car after it's finally tuned. It been a long term project that nearly finished. The Last thing I need is a good tune. Does anyone have any good leads that can point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

Why can't you send your dyno sheet with the chip for a re-program? It just seems like that would be the simplest method and should work.

Just a thought
