Default Tampa Bay Area Local tuners?

Been looking to get the Z tuned this summer since I feel like it has been running a little rich after I got it from the dealership. It was tuned already but then they detuned it. Currently it only has AEM intakes, MOTORDYNE intake manifold, a tomei catback, ISR y pipes and a couple of small silicone piping upgrades when it comes to the engine. Planning on getting HFC soon as well probably.

I just want to get it looked at and tuned because I have no idea what's on with my ECU, and to also throw a couple maps on there. So if you guys know any good tuners in the tampa bay area, FL, i would appreciate it! Kinda nervous about tuning it so I'm just overthinking it yk how it is haha.

Never tuned a car before, would be very open for advice.

Thanks!

I live in Tampa, and have been looking for a good shop that specializes in the Z. I have been looking for a while and also taking advice from others in Florida, and it appears they all are located outside of the Tampa Bay area. There is 1 shop in Tampa, Fever Racing, but have heard and read horror stories about them. I look at the reviews and it looks like it's 50/50.

I have also heard about Zfever "Fever Racing" and I have also heard good and bad about them. My friend got his z tuned there by a guy called martin, says he's pretty good but idk how they are like when it comes to mechanical stuff. I heard some good things about Harry in Ztuner. Doesn't have much reviews but i have heard a couple of ppl on reddit recommend him.

I have been also looking for a shop to install my clutch whenever I get it and i have been worried about it because last time my friend got his clutch changed the mechanics screwed his clutch and flywheel up bad.

I have heard of Btuned being a good shop but they are a 2 hour drive for me.

I’ve talked to the owner, Doug, directly. Props to him for answering the phone and taking the time to explain his process. He seems to know what he’s talking about, but the reviews worry me. I’m looking at replacing the CSC/MC/clutch.

What about RS-Enthalpy in Riverview? I hear nothing about good things on local Z forums.

I'm always open to suggestions/recommendations. Never heard of them so I will need to look into them.
