Hello guys,

I'm going to pull my new 383 due to some issues with the motor. The cam is very mild and I'd like to replace it with something more agressive while it's out. The car was dynoed when it was tuned, but that was when the car was in Florida. Up here in Delaware, I couldn't find anyone local that does older LT1 dyno tunes. How close would a mail order tune be? Obviously the dyno is better, but just wanted to see how far off the mail order tune would be and who I should use. The car needs to pass a sniffer test too. Any suggestions for an LT1 tuner in this area are welcomed.

Thanks,

Tony

Who and where did the dyno tune in Florida?? And what happened to your motor to have to rebuild?

To be honest, I'd rather not say who performed the work. When the car came home, it leaked coolant from the studs, had rockers misadjusted, had a miss, leaked oil from the optispark and rear main seal. Even if I mess it up this time, at least I can say I did it.

The car runs good.....put down 360 to the wheels.....you just can't drive it cause of the issues.

The way my car came out, I can't reccommend anyone to you at this point, even if you just need a tune.

Thats what I was kind of figuring. Hopefully I can do a mail order tune upfront, then find someone that will dyno this car.

Pcmforless mail order did an excellent job for me, and there are others as well.

PCM4Less did my tune and I immediately had it put on a dyno to check the A/F ratios. It was spot on actually and didn't need any mods at all. That's not always the case though but I'd say a mail order tune can be a good starting point and if the A/F's are off or you are disappointed in the numbers you can always still get a dyno tune after.

i have a 383 in my 97 z and had it programmed by pcm forless and i can say bryan is verry good they will work with you if you are tight on money they're always willing to help out... oh and about your dyno, i know your in deleware but there is a place here in oklahoma called fast chip they are supposed to be a very good lt1 tuning shop. dyno, mail in, the whole thing.

Is your car still a chipped car, by looking at your sig I would guess you still have a 93 computer and Bryan at pcmforless does not tune chipped cars or at least the last time I asked him about doing my old LT1. Alvin from pcmforless does dyno tunes. We got both of them to come to a dyno day a few years ago and do some tuning, but I think Alvin still does cars down in North Carolina at his shop.

I am having Ed Hutchings do my initial tune for my FI build. I have heard nothing but good things about him and his knowledge. He is also a sponsor on here. Of course i will have a dyno tune done as well.
