Default Tuning solution

So I'll be picking up a supercharger and getting it installed in the next couple weeks. I was originally planning on just getting it e-tuned by Jeff Evans and then doing the finishing touches on it myself (I retuned my car N/A about a hundred times, so I'm pretty comfortable with the software).

But as fun as it was to learn how to tune, it was also a huge pain in the ass and a monumental waste of gas + risk of getting pulled over every time I went out to log data. So I've decided I just want to get it done right one time and have fun just enjoying the car.

I also want to get my serial gauge tuned as I'm too lazy to figure out that software because it's just ridiculous.

I know every one is going to tell me to go to Tony at T1, but are there any other good tuners for our cars in the area? I live in North Richland Hills, but don't have a problem driving a good bit out of the way to get it tuned. I'd prefer T1 but I also do not want to wait 6 months to get it tuned, plus $800 seems quite high for a tune.

Other suggestions?

If you have flashpro, Gernby is a Professional tuner!!! He is local and just released his new exhaust system!

Heard from another member in a similar spot as me (can't wait 4 months for a tune) that T1 is currently considering turning away all other cars and only taking R35 GTRs. Looks like we may need to find another shop anyways

^ Yep! I think this is true, I know they only want to tune cars they have built much less only GTR's! They have recently churned (I think) 3 GTR's with =1000HP for TX2k13

LOL, I can totally relate about the e-tuning. Most of the runs weren't bad, but I was always searching for abandoned, flat roads late at night for the 3rd gear pulls.

Also, from a fellow North Richland Hills owner.
