Big Issue...

Well okay im starting my winter project early this year, why? because april we have Speed Sport in New brunswick witch is one of the biggest car shows here in the maritimes. so i want the car done.
now i have been running a turbo on the car now for 4-5 months on a trifecta tune
over the winter im building the motor and head and upgrading to a PT62 Ball bering Turbo with all Billet internals and im reving the car to 9 grand, aiming for on pump fuel 450-500whp and 380-450 Tq
So my biggest issue with this is what is out there for tunning? trifecta yes, but hes never done anything like i am doing before witch really scares me. plus the long distance between us.
I personaly rather HP Tuners, why? because i know a guy thats tuned hundreds of cars and many putting out over 400 whp
im also leaning towards EMS so i can run a forged crank, but people are telling me, who will i find around here that will be able to rewire a 2007 cobalt, and also be able to make it run right. so that be a hit in the ball park i guess.

So what do you all think, is there any tuning for me?
