I really dont know any that are not Ford Specific, RWTD in Mobile tuned my Fbody but he shut down.. Geoff at EPS said 650.00 for FI tune..(cant swing that..little too high for me) I may try guy in Pensacola named John Weeks, he tunes Fbodies too so maybe he can do ok on my Silvy..

Whatever way you decide to go with it, a live dyno tune or street tune will always be better than a mailorder.

If it's running good as it is, but you want more out of it, save up & have the best tuner local to you do the retune. The money will be well spent.

I've never been to either place, so I honestly don't know. But I have seen pictures of both places, and the trees, plant life, & vegetation seem to like MS better from the pics I've seen.

Just for ***** & giggles, I jumped on the NWS website.

San Antonio 7-Day Forecast for Latitude 29.46°N and Longitude 98.5°W (Elev. 741 ft)

Hattiesburg 7-Day Forecast for Latitude 31.31°N and Longitude 89.31°W

Looks like almost double the humidity in MS to me. I wonder if there's a page that shows yearly averages, not just the current forecast?

The weather is close enough to the same that it won't effect an SD tune bad enough to hurt anything. He tunes a couple of big HP trucks that go up into the big hills of Texas and Oklahoma.

That's good info. So you think it's worth an 11 hour drive each direction?

Buy the software and learn to tune yourself. surely nelson would unlock your pcm for you to tune it yourself. if not, I'd drive for a paid for quality tune.
