Default who to tune LT-1 in the southeast???

I recently picked up a 1994 Z-28 with a 396cid LT-1 and need to get race gas/nitrous tune for it.

Who would F-body guys recomend to tune a LT-1 car?

An LT-1 has a carb and dist. You could easily do the tuning yourself.

Dude, are you bored?

OP, I think Hawks was supposed to start tuning all ---->LT1<----- cars soon. Might give them a call, they are in SC.

I thought I had my location under my name but didn't. I added it.


I was looking for someone in the MS/AL/LA/FL panhandle area to tune it.

Last time I went to Allan it cost me $350 to fine tune my car but it was close. He normally charges $500. I am thinking that it will cost around $500 to get it dialed in. Well see and I'll let you know. Later

I dont mean to sound like an ***, but there is a difference in a LT1 which came in the 93-97 camaro and the LT-1 which came sometime in the late 60's or early 70's camaro. I guess it should be known which your talking about but some may not. Good luck with your search, I dont know anything about MS but there is a lot in Texas

Well, seeing that it's a 94 car, one would think that figuring out which motor he has would not be too difficult.

If you want the car to simply run well, then any of the suggested tuners "should" be able get it going. If you want every last drop of power out of your combo and have street-ability like no other....talk to Formato aka Fasterproms. You won't be disappointed.
