LOL!! I guess i am just a little used to the guy's down here..we have a thread over in the eastern section were a good group of guys post alot.. I guess i was just trying to make that in here... I liked that other site you gave.. I guess it just doesn't feel as fun as ls1tech can.. we should try to keep this st.louis thread going and see if we can get a new group together..

Yo.....STL area, but I do all of my posting either here or the vette forum, or speed density (which I pretty much run). Fast is an ok site, but seems like you gotta know someone.

I've got a lead on one who supposedly does a lot of Corvette and Viper stuff. I'm actually searching for one because at some point I KNOW I'm going to upgrade to 317 or LS6 heads and a ZO6 cam in my car, and I will want the 2Bar SD tune tweaked obviously.

Hit www.stl-speed.com/forums up.

As far as tuners, you've got a few to choose from.
PBJ ( Performance By Joe. This is most likely who Fastbird is referring to)
Keith McCord ( goes by MCG on some forums)
Redline Performance ( Local LS1 based shop)

why not a custom grind from Comp? It is the same price as anything that you could get off the shelf $399

Ding ding! We have a winnah. I don't have much info on the guy, but I've talked to a few people at the track who said he's who you want to see. Yet to further explore though.

Because I can snag an LS6 cam for pennies on the dollar, the LS6 cam is proven to make a GREAT FI cam, and I don't want to be overtly projective with the car on the road. Stealth factor. I want quiet unassuming non-choppy idle and under the curve power. The upgrade to the LS6 cam and LS6 or 317 heads should put me close to 600 RWHP, more if I go with a ported set. The car hurts enough feelings as-is at 500 RWHP with as quiet at she is. I just want more down the road (right before it's forged short block time).

I see. I am just trying to make 500rwhp.. LOL!! right now i am stuck at the 430 mark.. Of course that is with a **** cam 218\226 split ugh and some ported 853 heads.. I just want to smack the guy in the face that put that combo together.. With the cubes I have plus the forged bottom, I do not think i will have any problem getting there with some nicely done up 241's and a custom grind of my choice!!
