swanson or svc for a dyno tune? quick!

iv been waiting to have my truck dyno tuned for the last 2500 miles, i just put in a new long block and i finally have enough miles on it to get it tuned, i wanna do it this weekend before i go under way as i am in the navy and thats the chit i gotta deal with. im in sandiego and my family is in scottsdale. ive heard good things about swanson performance and svc motorsports anyone have anything good or bad to say? which one should i go with? thanks lightning society! nice to have a place to ask these kinds of questions
my mods are a 6#lower, cold air intake, catback, diablo programer if that helps any

SVC Motorsports in Scottsdale is Great, they tune probably half of the trucks in our local Lightning Club. The Tuner their Rob knows his stuff

He has tuned my 03L for the last two years through all of the mod changes I have done, over 100 passes at the track, low 12's, and a daily driver - runs perfect.

I vote for Danny Swanson if it's not too late.

Use which ever is more convenient for you. They both have great reputations and can provide you with what you're looking for. The West Coast guys may not have the name recognition like the big boys out East, but they are competent tuners in their own right. I've heard nothing but positive feedback about Swanson, and a lot of the So Cal boys use him.

As Shocker said, SVC has tuned the fastest trucks in AZLOC and they are great to deal with. Not trying to bash Swanson at all, have always heard good things about them. Maybe it will just come down to who is closer to you. Let us know how everything turns out with your tune.

Swanson knows his chit, sounds like the people at SVC do to. Call them both, see what you think about the person on the other end of the line. If you're in SD, it would seem like Danny would be closer. Try the phone calls.

Where are you located? If youre in the desert region I would say SVC would be best, they know the weather and what tuning needs to be done. If youre on the coast I would say Swanson would be best.

thanks for the responses just what i was looking for. i tried the phone call idea. svc was much easier dealing with over the phone, swanson seemed too busy to talk business but i would have loved to get my tune at swanson however svc is gonna be more convienient cause im going home this weekend, i have an appoint now for monday, cant wait to see the results!
and for SHOCKED what mods do you have to your L? low 12sec with the svc tune and a daily driver thats just what i want out of my L when im done.
