Talking Lashway Motorsports - now tuning LT1!

Since we get a few calls a week concerning LT1 tuning, we figured we would make the investment and purchase software to do just that, tune LT1's.

We've always been hesitant to get into this "dying" market, but the demand is there apparently and no one seems to know where to go.

We're limited right now to '96 and '97 models only with out current software.

We'll see where this goes, and if need be may expand our capabilities.

Our tuner has several years of tuning experience under his belt and has successfully tuned a few LT1's as of late, making their customer's very happy!

If anyone needs more info or pricing, you know where to find us!

I havent had any dealings with Lashway but I can say that it s a great thing your doing getting into the lt1 business. Its the sign of a good company when they listen to their customers and their needs. I think you guys may be surprised with how much lt1 business you will get.

Hey Mike,
We picked up the JET tuning software. Seems pretty similar to HPT - well the functionality at least...

Minus the cheesy bus plug.

Yeah, for now. But we'll see what we can do.

More practicle to change out the operating system, better results, more power. Doing more DFI swaps than ever. 3rd gens, GN's. Its a little pricey but the window is wide open.

You guys know there are more lt1's out there running obd1 pcm's, should invest in TunerCat software if you want to tap in to the lt1 market. I myself have a 97 formula that I converted to use a 94, 95 pcm, I have tuned it myself for about a year now but am to the point where it really needs a dyno tune to get all HP. Erik, maybe if I brought my software and my laptop your tuner could tune if he is familiar with TunerCat.

I already offered this as well. From what I gathered Josh (the tuner) said he can do it. TunerCat is a VERY simple point and shoot software.

very happy to see this as I am in the same boat as mightymouse383, have the software and have been playing around with the tune for about a year, but it really needs someone who knows what they're doing to get it right.
