Slowhawk tuned my car with LS1 edit and really knows his stuff. The tune includes wideband dyno tuning.

East Side Performance & Dyno performed the LS1 Edit on my car and all came out well. I think they are a bit expensive though and oh...don't forget the CT tax on services! ;)

I only have an initial tune on my minor mods and it made a HUGE difference in the car. Once the heads/cam go in, it is definitely going back to Don.
