"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-----

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---
