Default Looking for Boosted LSX Tuner in the PNW

Just getting around to firing up my lq4/s480/4l80E setup in my 68 f100. Looking to see if anyone around here has someone local they have used for some tuning on a turbo lsx setup.

Looking for a solid safe tune on Meth/pump gas that is intercooled and running on factory GM ECU as well.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Here is my setup I am working on.





Thanks in advance,

Sean

That is beautiful. I would think about angling your wastegate more towards a 45 degree angle. It will be efficient.

I am actually in Portland Or. Never heard of Speed Secrets, did a little internet search and they look fairly legit. Do you know Ellis personally or have you had him do work for you? I grew up in Kent so that area is pretty easy for me to get to.

Thanks, lots of time into the truck at this point. The gate will have to work at least for now. I know ti would be better with a little more angle but I was working with what I had at the time.....and its already ceramic coated. Oh the things you learn when you build a car right?

Next downpipe will be different, but Ill run this until I need to make a change.

Keep the recommendations coming.
