Hey, I'm new to the whole tuning scene, and I'm about to install my parts onto my car and was wondering what I would run, and if I should get a dyno tune or not. If not, then what should I get? I'm around the Toledo, Ohio area. So anyone know any good tuners in Ohio? I found dyno tune motorsports. My car is a M6 1998 z28, and the mods are:

EPS 230/234 cam with dual springs
SLP Double Roller Chain with SLP oil pump
SLP lid
LS6 intake
Ported/Polished TB
Pacesetter LT
Exhaust? (unsure at this point)
4.10 Motive Gears

I think that's it, Thanks for any help given!

I would definitely recommend a dyno tune.......I'll never go back to a mail order tune

I would take a wild guess around 400hp to the wheels

Depends on a couple of things. Who is doing the tune, what brand of dyno, where you live, and what time of year you will be dynoing.

I looked at Dynotune Motorsports http://www.dynotunemotorsports.com/
I think it might be a Dynamometer? I live in Ohio, this place is around Columbus, and probably around May I would guess. Does that help anyone? I'm very new to this.

I would guess between 350-400 depending on tune

It's actually a 230/238 cam, just got the spec sheet in the mail today.

That is where I had my dyno run at, but I had Billiumss tune my car. He used to live right around Columbus back in 2007 when I tuned mine. He currently runs http://www.customls1tuning.com .

I'm sure the folks at DynoTune will take care of you. They all seemed pretty knowledgeable and I'm sure have seen many LSX's come through.

with a stock 98 and these mods... stock you are looking 315 ~320

cam, intake, long tubes ...20+10+10 ~ = 40~50HP MAX

370~380 rwhp

my opinion of the pacesetter LTs ...I would go with something else like Kooks or QTP.

Exhaust wise...if they are still out there grab a GMMG exhaust piece.


to get above 400, it will require a nice set of heads with some good flow numbers and possibly increase your compression out of that ls1.

^ Those are numbers are kind of disappointing, but thanks I'll look into the gmmg. Right now I can't afford those Kook's headers, that's why I went with some Pacesetters, because I got them for a good price.

its turbo time

iTrader: (3)

Is that on the low end? Cam is only worth 20? And long tubes are only 10? Aren't ported tb's worth about 10 also?

Your combo should make right at 400rwhp. If you want to get over 400 for sure look into getting a used set of 243/799 heads

I think you will be just shy of 400. I believe that the cam and LT's are worth more than 30rwhp. I think 390rwhp would be a good expectation.
