Best LT1 Dyno Tune Shop in North East?

Hey all,
I need some recommendations for a dyno tune shop in the Northeast.
The car is getting an LE2 H/C setup and I would like a true dyno tune once up and running, beyond the mailorder, from an experienced shop/tuner.

I am actually located in Ottawa, Canada (about 3 hrs north of Syracuse, NY)but will travel to get a good and proper dyno tune.

I've been reading Bryan Herter will meet at a dyno for tuning. Think this would be the best route if I can set it up?

The only dynotune shop I know of anywhere close is Autoworx in Toronto (about a 4hr drive)...anybody used/heard of these guys?

My buddy Bob tunes LT1's on a Dynojet. He is not cheap, but he is good. www.kennedysdynotune.com I don't know much about the LE2 package, but since it is so common I wonder if this is one of the situations that a mailorder would be fine? Usually, I am pretty sceptical of tuning a car without laying hands on it, but this may be an exception. I will say that many times (maybe in the 50% range) cars coming into the shop for "tuning" have other issues that must be corrected before they have a hope of working right. I dunno how this could be dealt with at a distance?

Im going to be using Bryan Herter for my LE2/GM-847 setup. I think you should do the same. I have one of his tunes now and its awsome!

I've used Second Street Speed in Perkasie, PA. They've built cars for George Baxter, Injuneer Fred and John McMullen.

Ok, Thanks for the info

Big Shot Dyno in Hudson, Ohio is about a 12hr drive from here, that's getting pretty far.
The other shops are about 8hrs.
Hopefully I can hook up with Bryan Herter sometime early summer when this thing gets together at a shop within 6-8hr drive!
Nice video's BTW..
