www.pcmforless.com

And I suggest you do some more homework on your build. Sounds like a train wreck to me.

Why a train wreck? I bought the car with the motor broke and now I'm rebuilding it. Got it cheap.

Ion(madz28) @ www.madtuner.com
Ed Wright @ http://www.fastchip.com/
Solomon @ http://www.lt1pcmtuning.com/
and pcm4less
Those are the big LT1 tuners, I suggest doing some research on them before just picking one, theres not much negative stuff said about MOST of them however I have seen allot of negative comments/bad results from one of those tuners..

I've had tunes from PCMFORLESS, MadZ28 and Solomon back in the day. From personal experience, all three were great. Solomon had better customer service though.

Yeah I will definitely look into them.

I don't. See this being a train wreck. Other then the rear end might break. But forged pistons good rods balanced and tuned right......what could go wrong ha

Combination of weak stock parts and mismatched performance parts. Set a goal of exactly want you want to do. research proven combos and talk to engine builders. If you have a HP goal in mind then you know what you need to buy instead of slapping parts on. Ex. Stock rear end is garbage and a 58MM TB is way to big for anything listed in your build.

4.11 gears in a 10 bolt is far from solid....

especially in a 6spd car....
