Northwest Florida or surrounding area tuners?

I am finally getting my whipple installed on this coming Monday. They do include a factory tune for the unit with a roto fab air box. My question is with everything with all else being stock, am i chasing something that is not there? I would like to find a good tuner in this area but i don't even know what is possible hp wise without running it on the ragged edge. I looked into the tuning school but it seems so entailed and cost around $2500.00 for the set up with laptop and software.
Any suggestions

I hope everyone has a great day..

I'm curious as well (for down the road). Not trying to hijack your thread, but how is the car scene over there in Destin? I ask because it is dead here in the PC/PCB area.

I'll keep you posted on the deal. But to be honest i work alot and dont have to much time for anything else..lol I have seen you typical lambo or Ferrari from the millionaire club.. Bulldog Motorsports has a mechanic who's really sharp. He is in FWB and has a shop, that is who will be doing my installation. He said he knows a "tuner guy" who's pretty solid but i have yet to meet him. Do you go to Holt dragstrip?

I did put a vitesse throttle controller on the car and WOW the best couple hundred dollars I have ever spent. It makes the car come alive. I took it off because with the whipple it's pointless i hear. The guy who owns it Ahamed i think is always available to help if you have any installation or calibration issues. You should definitely check it out!!

I have been to Holt once since I've had the car, but I plan to go again in the next month or two, now that it has cooled off some. I just hate sitting in my car without any damn air conditioning...always tempted to turn it on anyway

Turbo_RORO is out there all the time though. He is the only other "local" person I've met so far.

Jeremy has been around a long time and is one of the best out there. He comes to PA every few months for by appt tuning at a shop. Guys will travel from surrounding states to have him tune their car. I have a friend with a CTSV here on Long Island and he went to PA to get his car tuned for E85,pulley and longtubes. As expected the car runs great and Jeremy is very thorough. If your close enough thats the guy id be going to without any question.

Tampa is nowhere near northwest Florida.

I haven’t been able to track down any decent performance shops in the relative area. The only one that I’m aware of is XXX Motorsports but, I honestly don’t trust them at all. I’ve been on the horn with Vengeance Racing for some time now but, their prices are very, very prohibitive so, I’m just waiting it out until I’m absolutely sure I can’t find anyone else.

If you guys are near me or going to be, let me know if you ever want to meet up. Met a couple CTSV guys this weekend. I usually check on here every day or so. I'm going to the Emerald Coast Cruise In this weekend if y'all are out.

I plan on heading out there this afternoon. I washed my car last night, but it's mosaic black, so it will be dirty as soon as I back it out of the garage

Not sure if I should register my car or just walk around.
