Looking for an honest and reliable tuner out here in the Houston area. Any recommendations?

For the guys that spend the most time and do it right I recommend Bryan at Powerfabs or Patrick G in Victoria

The only shop I have work on my 2008 Z06 is Franks Vettes.

I've been tuned at 3 different places. By far the best one was from LMR. Problem there though is it takes days for them to get to it and that's with an appointment. But I'm also guessing YMMV

Default Houston Tuner

I recommend 510 Racing. Their tune is my third on a cammed car without LT headers. Neither the shop that installed the cam nor the second tuner got it right. My third stop was 510 Racing and they got it right. Before 510 Racing touched the tune they put it on their dyno and it made 490 HP (6 HP less than the second shop) and 463 torque. After they were done it made 515 HP and 485 ft-lbs of torque.
More important than they lowered the idle to 800 rpm and it idles much smoother than before. I won't way that the cowl shake is totally gone, but it is much less than before. Gas mileage is also better.

To keep the options open since everyone is recommended someone different it seems.

But D3 Performance Engineering is the place to go for tuning and fabrication in my opinion. For high hp cars in Houston, Delgado and his team are pretty heavily involved with a lot of other high end shops working with them and their tuners from M2K Motorsports, LMR, Hennessey, etc...
