Default Virginia Beach Tuner

Anyone know of a good tuner in the Virginia Beach area. I would like to take my C5 in to see if they can give it a little jolt and also get it dyno'ed to see where I am...and see how much I am going to have to spend to get me where I want to be.

I know there are those do it yourself things that you can get, but I would rather go to someone who knows what they are doing.

Any Suggestions? Also anyone have any dealings with Virginia Speed?

Wait for Jeff Creech of Carolina Auto Masters to come back up to Abbacus in Norfolk. Steve (allthrottleandnobottle) mentioned Saturday that he knew of a few guys in the area that wanted a tune and he was going to try to get Jeff to come up. Jeff tuned my car and has tuned many C5's. He does first class work and is a really nice guy to deal with.

Ok, now I am just going to show my true mechanical stupidity now that I have asked what tuner I should go to...

With a stock car...what can/will having my car tuned do for me?

Jeff is The Man! I drove to Durham last week to have him tune my Trailblazer SS. Great results! I am WBH SS over there.
