"Everytime I try to get ahold of my tuner he doesn't answer so... I'm considering a visit to synergy when I get my ls6 cam swap done, opinions and experiances are welcome to be shared. "
Spoke to Tom about this--he says this is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE-- Says that recently you have never called--never left a message-- He has tuned all 25 or so F-bodies in our club and does excellent work and is totally reliable and considerate-- Says he has logged hours and hours of data on your truck for FREE without question or charge since your 1st tune--He has tuned over 1000 cars and trucks from blown to stock and knows his stuff---
Sounds to me like you have made poor choices in your combination ( LS6 cam etc.) and have unrealistic goals for a 4.8 / 4500 lb race truck--
PS: "you get what you pay for " ?? Absolutely !! In the Modesto area , central valley charging $500 for a dyno tune will get you to the un-employment office-- An hour on the dyno here is $75 --A tune $150 --with free adjustments--- That's $225---- So you're paying $500 and driving to the Bay Area ??---Yeah--your're getting what you deserve--screwed !!!
How many ways are there to adjust timing and fuel ??? no matter what they tell you that's what performance tuning comes down to-----

I'm sure tom said there were no recent voice mails or calls because this thread is TWO YEARS OLD!
and what about that thing they call drivability...it's not ALL just timing and fuel

Driveability is a given on any modded engine tune--It's usually the 1st thing tuners work on-- and is assumed all do- but "Performance Tuning" is a whole other thing--trying to get the best HP and TQ---for the application--
Again timing and fuel----and all the related tables involved -such as timing deducts---WOT AFR triggers ---KR---VE-- ETC---
