Bob,

Check with Ed Hutchings - Automotive Technologies - down in Chesapeake, VA. Man knows his stuff, can tune with the best and has a dynojet. There are a lot of people from NoVa making the drive down for first class work.

Here's some of the work he's done on my car.

PM me if you want more.

Hi Bob,

I also highly recommend you take your Z06 to Ed's shop in Chesapeake, VA! I know Kevin and his car well and saw first hand the quality of work Ed does for his customers, which is why I took my vette there.

Ed's attention to detail coupled with his very fair prices is only exceeded by his exceptional tuning abilities. It's the only shop I'll take my 2004 C5 coupe (with many many modifications) to!

Here's a recent thread based on my experiences there. Definitely worth you time, effort and money.

383 Gets FAST 90/90, YT Ultralites RR and SD Tune

I would call Ed as well since you are close by. Here is a link that I have and the results that he has helped my cousin & I out with. https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-transmission/747636-ram-twin-disk-clutch-system.html


Here is another dyno chart on my cousin's old 346 head, cam, FAST 90, LS2 TB, Vararam Cold Air, SLP 85mm MAF, MSD coil's, SLP 1 3/4" LT headers, Kook's X-pipe W/cats, and TPIS cat back exhaust.

Sorry, the image is to big to post. The RWHP was 445 and the RWTQ was 406. This combo was not yet optimized by ED before a connecting rod let loose and took out the motor, as this is my cousin's DD. The cam spec's were for a future TT LS2 that we were going to build a couple years down the road:

Adv. Duration was 302* int & exh
@.050 Duration was 240* int & exh
lift with 1.7 ratio rockers was .578" int & exh
LSA 112
ICL 108
