Default Looking for a shop that would be able to tune my vehicle...

Hey all, new here. As the title states I'm looking for a dyno tuner that would have a wide array of tuning software. -deep breath- Get ready to laugh. It's a 2009 Buick Lacrosse with a 3800 Series III engine. I've owned nothing but old folks cars so when I saw the deal on this 3 years back I jumped all over it.

Back in Feb I took some money from my tax return and picked up some split ratio rocker arms and an aftermarket intake insert. Popped those in and was happy with the gains vs what ZZPerformance claimed I would gain and picked up a CAI back in Oct.

I'm planning on grabbing some higher flow exhaust manifolds, larger downpipe and resonator at a later date but I wanted to get a tune specifically for the intake and rocker arms.

I've looked all over online for software and people that can tune for this particular car but only found 1 place that does mail order tunes. Given I ended up having to switch to premium to eliminate KR I'd rather have it on the Dyno so they can keep an eye on KR while adjusting everything else.

Thanks in Advance.

Or if anyone knows of performance shops who have experience tuning 3800/wbody platforms that would be a good place to start.

They're oblivous to the fact but the neighbors caught on when they saw you struggling to climb out of the bedroom window with a jizz stained gimp mask covering your ugly mug.

Thanks, just shot em an email. They're using HP Tuners as well which doesn't look very promising. GM did something with the 06 and newer PCMs which makes tuning a nightmare and screws up readings from sensors and gauges.
