You may want to check out automotive specialists across from the VA hospital he has done work on a few top end cars, a few I've seen is a 308 ferrari, single turbo conversion supra, his ford lightning that's close to 700 I believe, and I think he has currently got a fd rx7 sitting out front. But he does some good work, i would check him out if you're looking locally. If you're still looking

these guys are highly talked of. i heard about them on LS1Tech and they do use HP Tuner.

i checked their site and they list your car. Only downfall is they are in Richmond, which is a bit of a ride...but from the looks of it, it would be well worth your time.

I would contact them and see what they would do for you considering the amount that you are looking to get done.

I don't know if he has a tuner but I know he would go get it tuned if you needed it to be or you just have him slap on the parts with a base tune and take it to a reputable tuner yourself. Also he is not open on weekends just Monday through Friday
