Can't help you find a tuner in that area but I am originally from Greencastle not far from Chambersburg, actually going to Pittsburgh for work in a week and a half going to try and make trip down to the old stomping grounds.

How far are you willing to drive to get a great shop tune?? My GO TO TUNER is Corvettes Of Westchester. Call Chuck and if nothing else, discuss you needs and goals and he will give you all the FACTS. I live in Southeastern CT and drive to Westchester NY to get my tuning done.

Google says the driving distance is 225 miles from Carlisle.

In this part of PA I would recommend County Corvette in West Chester, PA. http://countycorvette.com/
They would be maybe just over 100 miles from you.
In Md, I've heard good things about the folks at Tony's Corvette Shop http://www.tonyscorvetteshop.com/index.aspx and also the folks at RKTPerformance maybe able to guide you in the right direction http://www.rktperformance.com/contact/

DVUSz06, we'd love to help you out. Our tuner Mike has been calibrating GM pcm's for over 25 years. I'm confident you'll be thrilled with how your car runs if Mike tunes it on our in-house Dynojet.

Send me a message if you have any questions!

Glad you enjoyed the online tour! We give live tours all the time and even host a few Corvette Club meets/tours throughout the Season. I'd be happy to give you a full tour in person if you ever stop by.

Not next door, but absolutely worth your trip to Richmond, VA:

Steve aka tunedbyfrost.com has been in the game for a LOOOOOONNNGG time, and is one of the best LS tuners in the country. He now has his own shop which is the link above. That's my red C5 on the lift in the picture. His team is the only one to touch my car. I have a build thread here on the forum with full details.
