••••Formato Fasterproms Gettysburg PA April 16th Through April 24th•••• Hello folks, Jeremy Formato will be back in the the North East in Gettysburg PA - tuning, and installing intakes and throttle bodies from Friday the 16th of April through Saturday the 24th.
Shop:
Keith's Pit Stop
2784 York Road
Gettysburg, PA - (717) 334-3153
Jeremy Formato Tuning:
The cost of dyno tuning is $400 + $85/hr for the dyno. If you are just looking for a street tune he can also do that for $300 w/ WB o2. We work very hard and are extremely thorough to make sure every vehicle is perfect and you are completely satisfied.
We are here to optimize the tuning of your LSx based vehicle. We also offer power packages that will meet your performance goals. We help you select the best parts that will give the best bang for the buck and make the right combination custom tailored for YOUR application. We are extremely thorough and precise in our tuning and go much farther into the code than other tuners. We tune the vehicle from idle, through wide open throttle, and as aggressively as you want to optimize the vehicles full potential for power and fuel efficiency without sacrificing any longevity. We inform each and every customer of exactly what is going on with the vehicle and explain what certain tables do and how to improve the vehicle. We have ported throttle bodies and intake manifolds with repeatable Dyno proven results. We try our best to offer the most aggressively ported manifolds money can buy. We test on the Dyno as well as the street to make sure everything is safe and dialed in 100%.
With our custom tuning we address many of the limitations the factory has placed on the vehicle. GMs minimum of 91OCT fuel allows us to gain power if we are using a fuel of greater octane. Later model vehicles lose a vast amount of power as they heat up, we combat this and make them much more consistently powerful. You don’t have to be racing to enjoy what we can do for you. Daily drivers can still have a bit more fun on your daily commute . If it’s the pesky 1 to 4 skip shift, the hot coolant temp, lack of power, fuel economy or throttle response, slow or soft trans shifts, shift points, WE CAN HELP.
The car will accelerate much smoother and effortlessly, it will have sharper response and more power when we optimize the tune.
With a ported throttle body, you will feel greatly improved throttle response and in the bottom end/mid range a strong seat of the pants increase. Many liken the difference to taking about 350lbs out of the vehicle. It truly makes the car much more fun to drive. Our Manifolds are very thoroughly ported not only in the runners but also much of the plenum and TB flange are enlarged in order to support more airflow from idle, thru the upper RPMs. The larger the air reservoir is, the less likely it is to deplete the greater volume in the upper RPMs. Hence the difference of the '00 LS1 intake vs the '01 LS6 intake, a small plenum volume change gained 10RWHP and 10RWTQ.
We also port LSX FAST manifolds. We have been modifying our LSX manifolds more extensively than our competitors and found more power in certain areas that others do not touch. We open the TB flanges as well as reshape the bell-mouth port entry and increase plenum volume, resulting in a minimum average gain of10RWHP and 10RWTQ avg. gain over non ported FAST's.
LS1's and LS6's are not ported, as we have seen no measurable gains in porting these intakes, the runners and plenum are thin and without obstruction. If an upgrade is desired we suggest the FAST LSX manifold for ’01-04 model years or an 01-04 manifold for 97-00 model years.
We have been tuning for over 10 years and have tuned literally thousands of LSX based vehicles from stock to 1100HP. We are based in FL but travel all around the country Dyno tuning and porting. We know what it takes to make a ROCK SOLID COMBO with best TQ and smoothness. Please feel free to call us and ask ANY questions basic to advanced tough questions. If we don’t know we will find out. We are honest and will do our best to make you happy with all the work we do!
We are extending the intake and throttle body specials pricing of $325.00 for a stage 1 intake and throttle body OR $400.00 for the stage 2 intake and throttle body.
Installation is free.
Why a Formato Fasterprom Ported manifold and throttle body?
Stage 1 information:
The average gain for the LS2 intake manifold over stock is 11 rwhp/13rwtq. The LS3/L76 average gain over stock is 10 rwhp/12rwtq. The LS7 average gain over stock is 17rwhp/19rwtq.
We have done over 370+ LS2 intake manifolds, 110+ LS7 , and 90+ LS3 & L76s and over 380 TB's.
When porting the TB you will see greatly improved throttle response and bottom end/mid range Tq feel and a significant seat of the pants gain. Our manifolds are very thoroughly ported not only in the runners (like some do) but also much of the plenum and TB flange are enlarged in order to support more airflow in the upper RPM. The larger the air reservoir the less likely to deplete more volume in the upper RPMs. Hence the OEM difference of the '00 LS1 intake vs the '01 LS6 intake.
Stage 2 information:
Stage 2 porting is taking the manifold to its limit - as much of the plenum is removed while still staying safe from vacuum leaks. We rework all the runners for an even deeper cut and we use a much more aggressive sanding method, even deeper than the 8 inches we typically port in the stg 1 manifolds. For stage two manifolds we remove the inner posts and completely flatten the plenum floor all the way to the back on the inside of the manifold as well as the outside so as to make a air gap between the valley and manifold base. We epoxy small aluminum plates, screw them in, and then epoxy the inside as well, to prevent any air leaks. This stage 2 manifold porting is a cheaper alternative to a FAST manifold, but it is also designed for someone that is trying to FULLY optimize their power on a budget. We are targeting those that want the MOST from the stock manifold at a decent price.
On our own GTO we tested the stage 2 manifold vs our stage one and we picked up an additional 6rwhp and 7 rwtq on an A-B test on the dyno same day, same weather, same engine conditions. This is in addition to the 11/13 from the stage one manifold We also had an independent test done by a shop in NY and they gained over 15+rwhp and 18+rwtq.
We do not offer stg2 for the FASTs. We port all of them as aggressively as possible, with over 3.5 hours to port per manifold.
Ls2 average gains over stage 1 porting is 6 rwhp/7 rwtq
LS3/76 average gains over stage 1 porting is 4 rwhp/4 rwtq
LS7 average gains over stage 1 porting is 4 rwhp/4 rwtq
Performance will vary depending on mods and tuning.
Please take a look at the results of some of the cars on the last South Florida trip that we dynoed, tuned, and swapped the intakes and TBs. Some are direct A-B swaps and show the results. Some are base runs then a rough tune and then we swap the intake and TB, and then fully optimize the tune.
05 GTO M6 "on the dyno" A (stage 1 ported manifold) vs B (stage 2 ported manifold).
After getting the base line run in, the stage 1 was removed and the stage 2 was installed and tested.
2010 M6 Camaro full intake and exhaust, run 2 had a base tune in it, run 3 was the intake swap and the last run was the fully optimized tune with a little bit more spark advance. This is a very recent A-B test of a LS3 stock intake to a stage 2, performed on a dyno jet in S Florida.
Results will vary and each car is different, with this one performing on the higher end of the scale, but the intake was a large factor in achieving these results.
Here is a 07 A6 Vette - had a fully optimized Formato tune, re baseline the car and installed the stage 2 intake. Again, the increase in power is not simply a peak power increase but is significant through out the entire RPM range. Same day, same conditions, A vs B test.
Here is a 07 Z06 with the following mods:
Callaway CAI, Fasterproms Ported TB and stg 1 manifold, STOCK EXH manifolds, B&B Fusion catback, Fasterproms custom tune.
Run 1 was a baseline pull with all aforementioned mods, fully optimized.
Run 6 was Stg 2 manifold and a tuning tweak, more fuel.

Porting the TB is a very nice SOTP difference, you will not see much of a gain on the dyno but your vehicle will be 10x more fun to drive and your throttle response will be greatly increased.
Porting the LS1 TB's is $100 installed. This will also greatly improve your throttle response. This is all on a core exchange basis.
If anyone is interested in having any headers or exhaust installed, we can get that done with enough notice, please call the shop to schedule an appt for this.

Not taking away from other tuners. Just saying Jeremy is a stand up guy, good tuner and very good customer relations. As for the Northeast thats a rather large area IMO. Plus I can think of a couple tuners as they call themselves that i guess that are far from anything special!!!!!! AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IS as good as your money takes you and thats where it stops.
