obd1 swap and tune it yourself. Best option.

I know how to turn a wrench and slam the peddle to the floor and all, but maybe he wants someone who knows what their doing to get it done right for him... thats what I plan on doing after I build my LT1...

MadZ28.com, Ion knows what he is doing. There are others but I have only used MadZ28.

Have you seen a mail order tune? They are very safe, and therefore giving up a considerable amount of power. Don't know if all of them are this way, but I'd bet the big ones all play pretty safe.

I had all the ODB1 tuning stuff when I built my 96 Vette, so I converted it to ODB1. I used Tunerpro RT to tune it.

Worked great.

what he said Ion does good work my bolt on car picked up half a second and 2 mph after one of his tunes.

My mail order tune was anything but safe. lean a/f + way too much timing.

If you had a bolt on car, Id say give an email tune a try. But any heads, cam, larger displacement, compression, or power adders-- dont get an email tune! You need to find someone local, that can put the car on a wideband and visually see how the car runs. My local tuner looked at the program on my car from a reputable online tuner and said it was junk. The injector constants were even wrong. My car just got its new base line, hasn't even been on the wideband or dyno yet, and its better than its been in the 2 years I've had it. I even went threw 7 tunes from the online guys, using datamaster each time. I've heard many stories just like mine, too.

Mine too. The KR was off the chart. Mail order tune is only good enough to get the motor to run in order to drive to a good tuner with a dyno IMO.

Lt1pcmtuning.com. best live data tuning around that I have used. I have used pcmforless there tune sucked big time.

I was way too rich with way too much low rpm timing. I've also seen another tuner do the same.

Bottom line is an Internet tune is a ballpark, but in no way a great option.

It seems a lot of the mail order tunes are hit and miss for a lot of people here. I have had two different mail order tunes and the first one was really bad. The second one is a lot better but it needs some more work. It helps a lot if you can do some data logging for your tuner instead of them just sending you one tune and hoping for the best.

Isn't a mail order tune for bolt ons fine though? Especially Ion from what i've read/heard. That's what i plan on doing after my full exhaust gets put on.

I can't imagine having an engine built and going for a mail tune though

Yeah a mail order tune is just fine for a bolt on car.
