Brian is amazing at tuning, the shift points make all the difference in the world

Brian tuned my computer too... Major props. My A/F ratio was dead on at TTP's dyno day.

Alvin does the Prom burning. Brian does the LT1 tunes.
From what I hear, Alvin isn't that good, but thats what I hear.
Brian is really good for LT1's .. he is who I had tuned my car.

What tim said is true, I've heard many many bad stories about Alvin's work...
However, I am pretty confident JS Performance is more than capable of handling the prom burning stuff 
Brian is a very cool, helpful guy and does awesome work.

I got a tune from Brian 2 weeks ago for my 2000 SS and the car feels great! It put down 320 rwhp at dyno day but it was still learning the changes and kept making more power each run so I think there's another 5-10 hp in it.

I guess I need to contact him, the car I just picked up has Pacesetter LTs and ORY and the EGR is having fits. I got rid of it on my LS1 383 and it ran fine, so !EGR it is

Just want to give my .02 on Alvin:
Alvin's rep swings from real bad to real good. And it's not that he is bad tuning cars, but he is slow responding to people and seems to take it real personal if you question his tune! He tuned my car after 3 others tried and gave up, Some returned my money, but not all, I had a tuner ( that I won't mention, some know the guy!) and he took me for allot of money and all my other chips/hardware! /Rant
Alvin did my tune via mail, I had new chips and burner and he sends me the file. His first tune was off a bit, rich top end and slight stumble off idle. I data logged the car and sent him the file and he made the changes and after that the car was flawless!
My tune was a bit complicated: stroker motor, forced induction, 2-bar map, custom cam. Alvin was the only one to get the tune right. I couldn't be happier, but I have friends with 93's as well who don't share my feelings.
