I need a good tuner to help me problem solve a couple problems. I have 2 cars I need help with...
 

The first is my turbo NB. It's running a stock ECU with an AEM f/ic piggyback.  Throwing some codes, and can't get a standard diag to talk to it.  Wouldn't hurt if they were experienced with MS as well, because I have a 2nd MS ECU for the car.

I also need someone good with HP Tuners.  Maybe a dyno.  It's an LSX swapped car running a GM ECU. I want to optimize the tune and see if we can get more hp out of it. 
 

I'm in middle GA, but don't mind bringing the car to ATL if there is a decent shop there. 
 

Any recommendations??

DBW Motorsports did a good job tuning MS on my turbo Miata. Good operation and knowledgeable tuners.

I've never heard of anyone here in MiddleGA I'd trust. I've heard some names around Atlanta but couldn't tell you who they are today.

Where are you these days? I thought you were up in the Carolinas somewhere?

In reply to ultraclyde :

It's probably a bit confusing...

I live in Lexington SC, but I work in Macon GA. I am in Macon 4 days a week. 
 

(Add to that, 4 of my kids live in ATL, my company's main office is in Albany GA, I own a cabin in the north GA mountains, and a house on Jackson Lake... I could be almost anywhere in GA!)

The truth is, I'm probably in my truck!

Came here to recommend Doug Wilkes at DBW as well.

That's a solid recommendation.  Thank you!

DBW was recommended to me as well, but I've never done business there.

There's also Balanced Performance.  I believe they still have Ed Senf who used to have some affiliation with the mag.  He ran a dyno day for our Integra club way back in the day and was gracious with our little Mickey Mouse operation.

Another good option is Very Cool Parts in Enterprise, AL. Wayne does most of our tuning.
