Default Tuner in Tulsa?

So I bought a 2002 A4 Corvette with 54k on it just 3 weeks ago. I just ordered XSPower headers and a Vararam intake and I've already put a catback system on it. Since I'm new to the Corvette scene I wanted to get some opinions on whom I should have it tune it after the headers/intake are on. I'm willing to drive within 2 hours of Tulsa (i.e. Oklahoma City) if necessary, but I'd like to use someone local if possible. I've heard the results of a good tune on a A4 are awesome, so I can't wait!

Any information and leads are certainly appreciated!

Hey neighbor! I'm from OKC but not familiar with any tuners in that area. I would highly recommend driving a little bit further and coming to DFW to either LGMotorsports, 21st Century Muscle Cars or Corvette World Dallas. Also, the computer can be shipped to a vendor here called Chuck Cow for a an A4 tune. Everyone sings praises for his work. Good luck

Hi neighbor! The main reason I'm not wanting to go to Dallas is just in case I need some fine tuning afterwards. If I have to I will, especially if availability of reputable tuners necessitates it. I thought about a mail order tune, but since I'm going to have the headers and intake on as well I'd prefer a dyno/street tune.

I'll give those 3 a call though, might as well find out if it will be convenient to use them! Thanks for the reply!

Good luck with the car. Wish I had more information on some OKC tuners though. I know a handful of guys from there and from what I understand, they just come here LOL. I recommended the mail order tune as it can be done at any time. But definitely call around and respond to Cartel's pm to see what is best friend

Thanks!
