Default Tuning shop reasonably close to Montana

I'm having a really tough time finding a reputable shop reasonably near me in
Glendive MT. I realize I'm gonna have to drive a ways, but not to Arizona or georgia. I'm hoping for something within a 12 hour drive. The less the better. My last tune easing billings Montana which is 3 hours away but I walked away with a dyno sheet reading 298 rwhp with my 7psi procharger... disappointing. Anyone got any ideas?

I'm just running a split second box. Is there more powr to be had using a utec? How about using a fuel return system over a returnless? I'm just trying to figure why my numbers were so low... I'll check the link u provided

Do you have your Dyno print out? Also are you should you don't have a boost leak?

Please provide some details about you cars mods.
Examples:
Stock block
5/16 spacer
Procharger w/ Stock pulleys
Injector size.
Fuel pump type (Walbro 255)
Exhaust type

All this information helps

Saudi: AWESOME! Ha ha. Its tough to find another Montanan on a site like this. Pretty cool! I got it tuned by Gary Coley at G&C Sales and Service. You can email me if you like: rossdrivdahl@hotmail.com

Car has always run fine, seems a little rich though guessing by how quickly the black returns to my exhaust tips. But I was laid off for quite some time, and couldn't afford a wideband AFR gauge. So I haven't seen an AFR since the day of the dyno (last june). But I only drive it about April-october

I am running a Procharger with stock 6-7lbs pulley. Stock injectors, auxillary pump and Split Second FTC1 to control fuel and timing.

Stock exhaust currently, though I've got headers, rt pipes and a dual in dual out muffler sittin here ready to make a 2.5in true dual when I have some time (this weekend).

I tried a Z1 spacer, but it wouldn't seal for some reason. I even used silicone on it and it just made this horrible screaming dying pig sound, so I returned it. I have been looking at an APS tallboy, but currently am running a stock plenum.

This is a 2003 Touring by the way, so It has the decent lower plenum.

I started backwards with my mods I know... I was power hungry, what can I say?

Could my lack of breathing mods be the culprit and not the tuner?

I don't have my dyno sheet, it got lost in the move. It had a nice steady curve like you'd expect from a SC though... and a MONSTER torque curve.w

oh and I am sure I don't have a boost leak because the gauge climbs steadily and without fail. There's a slight... shall we say, flat spot, from 4000rpm to 4500rpm, but the boost gauge is always strong.

RedDeer Alberta is around a 13hr drive and a shop called Lightspeed Innovations has tuned several SC and TT VQ35s Its a hike for sure but if your low on options it might be worth a look.
