best tuner option other than Troyer?

I have an xcal2 but can also trade for a gryphon...I really would like to use troyer as they did a great job with my 4.6 BUT really dont want to wait for months! I finally have all the bugs worked out with the 5.4 swap and ready to get it tuned. Im going to have a K&N CAI, 75mm throttle body, ported elbow, ported intake manifold, #24lb injectors, true dual exhaust with stock manifolds & cats, and already have a factory tech valve body for my 4r100 trans. I feel like troyer would do the best job BUT they are out atleast 2 months (if not more). I could probably just get it dyno tuned locally but do they change any of the transmission parameters? (IE shift points & strategy, TC lockup etc), I think the trans calibrating was the biggest difference with the troyer tunes on my 4.6.

So do I bite the bullet and wait for Troyer, do I talk to someone like PHP or similar, or do I get it dyno tuned locally? Give me your opinions guys

I am trying to get ahold of mike...have called three times and left messages each time (they are helpful, professional, and friendly but mike is the guy I need to talk to)...my next tune will be a little more involved than my last tune and Im thinking troyer is the way to go but its just frustrating not even being able to get through. I realize he is super busy and only ordering one or two custom tunes is not the biggest sale hes going to make BUT I am a returning customer AND its been over a week...idk what Im going to do at this point (not to mention the 8-10 week delay)
