I need a tune up...
I dont have much done to my Evo now but i know the previous owner had a lot done and took it all off to sell it. I want to get it tuned for whats on it now so i can maybe run it at the track and not feel like a loser
....not like an ET is gonna change that but need some local (Killeen area) if possible to tune it. I still have the stock ECU. Thanx.

How much to tune? I need it done before 20th of Jan. I remember seeing you post about coming down here to tune one time.....maybe wrong....ever make the trip for a large group? 10 to 12 cars?
There are some options in all the major cities. San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Dallas, etc.
Only a couple of people with the capability to tune here in SA--which is pretty close to you. If you do a search I'm sure you'll see their names pop-up here and there. In fact, I'll PM you a list of people that I know are said to be "tuners" that are near you. It's up to you to decide if you want to use them or not.
Word of advice...talk to all available people who tune (that you are considering). Get their background info, find out how they learned to tune, find out if they have any credentials, and see if maybe you can talk to a sample of his or her customer base.
Example:
Shop A takes 5-6 hours to tune a car using ecuflash. Shop B takes an hour using the same software. Quite a bit of difference huh? At first glance you might think that the shop who takes more time is the better one; but it could simply be that the shop with more expertise and experience simply does it faster and more efficiently. So there's a number of things to look at. Learn as much as you can about the process...talk to other people who the public knows to be tuners and just ask a lot of questions. Eventually the truth will come out of the muck through consistency, and you'll be better able to make your decision.
The last thing you want is your car to blow up, and have **** to show for it since consumers can't take any legal repercussion towards bad tuners.
