Default re-tuned

Just recently moved to Georgia, wanted to know if anyone knows any place to get my car tuned. I figured going to Florida would be my best bet. I have a 1j and hoping if i can get recommended to anyone that tunes 1j's pretty well. Planning to do this in around June/July. Thanks.

Pretty much need a re-tune bad specially that i use the car as a daily driver (making like 8mpg)
Currently have a E-Manage connected to a Blitz tuned 1jz ECU and have a 2 way LSD that I've been wanting to install (would do it myself but never done it and don't want to risk in messing something up). Guess I'll check one of those places out when i get the time.

Hey, get with PhoenixTuning.com he's in Savannah, GA. He's a Toyota/Lexus specialty tuner- and I'm pretty sure he travels.

Was hoping it was going to be closer than the others but ends up they are exactly the same distance away but appreciate for all the info and keep them coming! Will hopefully find the right tuner into consideration when i do get fully moved in.
