Are there any good tuners in Houston?
I need my car tuned since i've added a fuel pump and a water/ methanol injection system on my FD. I hate to drive all the way to Garland TX for Rotary Performance to tune my car. So I was wondering if any of my Houston brothers know of any good tuners? Scratch that...............any Great Tuners.

Your setup if the supporting parts are working is a simple tune, just gotta know if you want the full monte meaning idle, cruise, drivability, and how much of the full boost range you want to be done. Changing just the fuel pump should have no effect on your tune unless you had fuel pressure issues previously, not sure who did your past tune but it probably had lots of room for improvement anyway.
The meth will richen up the mix, you need to decide if you want to tune with it on or add it post tune to richen up the mix and add safety. With the water meth you can tune much leaner if you want max power, the cooling effects of the water help here. This gets more important with higher boost as the added water inj can result in misfire if your ignition system is not up to the task, running leaner helps. Chuck is aware of the tuning I did on mine years ago with just water injection so you should be good if you want him to tune for the water meth injection.

Be careful with doing a water/methyl alcohol mix. Any of the alcohols used are combustible and will therefore change the properties of the AFR the wideband will read. If you do decide to use a mix, then you'll have to make sure it's always at the same ratio of water to alcohol or it'll throw the tune off.

The full monte tune. The tune I have now was just a base map loaded onto the power fc of the mods i would be running. Reliability would be nice since its my daily driver but I have a need for more power as well. In a perfect world i would like to see 320-330whp (for a while anyway). How do I go about finding Chuck? Is he on here?
