Anyone know a good place to get a few pulls for a good price?

These guys are in Buda and have a Dyno. Nothing posted on the website for rates. I tried to get them to tune my car but never could get anything scheduled.

I don't Know if you consider New Braunfels to be the Austin area but I will include these guys too. They did the tune on my car.

It was ECM and TCM. The TCM changes were basic(line pressure, shift speeds, and small TQM adjustment). I believe it was $400. I am kind of curious to see how the TCM tune compares to a Vector tune. I have thought about buying the vector cable setup just so I can get their TCM tune and compare them on the same tranny. Do you live in South Austin? I saw a MGM GT a couple of days ago on Slaughter. He did a uturn and was next to me a the light @ slaughter and manchacha.

Vector is the front runner of the tunes i have been looking at so far. I have been waiting on that Vararam CAI and want to get a tune after i receive it. They are supposed to be creating a tune specifically for that CAI.
If the place u went to is any good i would like to have a local shop "tweak" me as i add more mods. Im not to keen on waiting on a cable from vector everytime i need or want to update something.
I live in Round Rock and only really go into austin on the weekends (i am very rarely in south austin).. If u see me it will be around the 183 area. I have a few friends that work at custom sounds on burnet rd that i visit from time to time.

I was looking at trying the powerflash setup. I have one question. Is the datalogger built into the cables or do I have to have a laptop hooked up to log data? Same question for the tune. Do you load it onto the cable/datalogger then flash to the car or does the computer need to be hooked up the entire time?

I tried to stay local just because of the fact that when I need future non tune work done I have some place to go. Everyones idea of a good shop is a little different. Corey was a good guy to deal with and listened to what I wanted and what my goals where. I was looking for a tune that would get me more from the motor but not push the limits on reliablitiy or drive ability. I feel I got that. I am sure I could get another 10HP if I go back but it is not that important to me. Kirk has more tuning experience with the G8 which is why I would like to try his tune. More out of curiosity than the need for more power. I am not chasing the max dyno number and I don't run the car at the track. Plus the new powerflash setup will allow me to go back to stock setup for dealer visits.
