sometimes the results are what the results are
What is the AFR at WOT?
Is there any knock?
How much timing are you seeing at WOT?
What kind of dyno was it??
Have you been to the track to verify the gains?

If you live in Florida.....
Sadly, Florida has LOTS of "NEWBIES" trying to play TUNER and most don't even have shops.
My best advice is to steer clear of the little guys as they just simply don't have the volume
of experience with these vehicles to do the right job.

Howard at Redline is not a "tuner". He is an experienced vehicle CALIBRATOR who has taken the time to learn how the system actually works and the proper methods for adjusting it rather than "poking it with a stick" as many other tend to do for a much cheaper price.

Like people have said, go with someone experienced the LSx motors have been out for a long time but the LS craze has brought a lot of new shops and 'tuners' to the business.
Give us a call 941-721-1826.
Thanks

We are more than happy to help you out, like most sad howard is very meticulous with the calibration work that he does and you will be happy with the result. with that said go with what ever place you feel comfortable with, we are here in pompano beach and with the move from ny as a result of the growth of the business and with sun year round down here we can get more done without having 5 months of snow on the ground
feel free to call and talk to us if you want.

I highly reccomend Howard at Redline . My 8-second C5 sat in New Jersey for the last two years because I was hesitant to bring it to Florida due to a lack of expereienced tuners . When Howard moved his shop from NY to FL a few months back I had it shipped down and Howard straightened out a few issues with the car . We have a few more bugs to work out but it will be running back at the track shortly .
Howard and Jay have a tremendous amount of LS performance knowledge between them . I would strongly consider driving down to visit their shop .

Top end numbers are only a small part of the tune, but 400rwhp is right around where it should be for your mods IMO?
That being said all the tuners that have stepped into this thread can handle your needs well I'm sure. They have all been around for a long time with happy customers.
Matt @ Rev Extreme has worked here at ECS and is a well qualified tuner and friend, and Howard from Red Line and I have been friends and worked together for years also so I can speak first hand for their abilities.
Best of luck with it.
