Default finished my streetsweeper HT install(Vid inside)

Here is a quick video, I will post more later on. Hopefully I can get it tuned within the next week or two.

I got too damn impatient. A day of looking at it was to much for me to handle. It drives alright, it keeps wanting to stall whenever I come to a stop. It does pull nicely though. I am trying to figure out the best/cheapest way to get it tuned. I would love to go to slowhawk but dont feel like driving 2.5hrs each way. I am thinking mongillo or jennetty but not looking forward to dropping another $5-600.

Sounds good!
Stalling will be an issue until it tuned, I still clearly remember doing the foot dance when coming to a stop trying to keep it from stalling. You could try opening of the TB blade just a little to cut back on the stalling, at least until you get it tuned.

Thats how I feel about those damn springs that have been in my basement since June. I dunno your limited in options. I wouldnt give a penny to either of the CT shops. Slowhawk is a drive and CSP down in PA isnt any closer. Maybe Frost can help you out with a mail order. Wont be as good as a dyno or street tune but a 228/232 isnt a huge cam. I bet Frost has done many of those in house. I know he did a great job on my mail order with full bolt-ons.

I'm so tired of hearing people recommend a mail order tune on a car that has a cam. Mail orders are good for getting a car to the dyno if it can't be driven but you give up so much by not having the car dyno tuned. Each car in different elevations will run different.

I am also looking at the corvette center in newington, they seem to have some pretty good reviews on the vette forums. Or i might just bite the bullet and buy HP tuners and learn how to do it myself.
