Interest in a South Texas Tuning/dyno Session

I have my 3rd gen back together and need to get it tuned.
I wanted to see if there were others that are interested in the same thing.
There is a dyno available for this type of an event in my home town (New Braunfels).

http://www.hendersonperformance.com/
It is a central location to most of the south Texas area.
FYI - Henderson is primarily an LS1-7 tuner but is listed as a Haltech dealer.

I will look into schedules for the dyno (at least a month or two in advance) and a tuner's (e.g. Steve Kahn) availability only if there is enough interest to try and coordinate an event (5 car minimum). Otherwise I guess I will set this up solo and trailer the car north.

FYI this won't be cheap.
See http://www.kantuning.com/forum/index.php for example prices which don't include the dyno time.

What type of ECU, If it is a PowerFC, Chuck W. and Myself are planning on a dyno session, if we buy more time I bet he will tune it for a small fee.

Chuck is the God at PowerFC's

Yes, I have a PFC with a starter map that Chuck provided to me.
Last time I corresponded with Chuck he said that he was not doing any tuning as a service due to some bad prior experiences (I assume bad customers).

I assume that the PFC is the most common ECU on modded sevens but I think that most of the professional tuners will tune any ECU. For that matter Henderson will tune my car but they don't have any experience with the the PFC or the FD3S except the ones with LS1's......

I have not ruled anyone out as a possible tuner as long as they have experience with the FD3S in all its possible configurations. (e.g. My car is a single turbo with 850/1300 injectors)

in houston we have many "professional tuners" here in houston. C. westbrook, C. couts, and myself (megasquirt) just to name a few we will all be doing our own tuning (and motor building afterwards)
