Daytona Coupe LS1 conversion
Let 04BlackGMC tune it. Omer phelps wrote me a shitty tune and printed me what had to be a fake dyno sheet and then when my car ran like **** he told me I was S.O.L. and then quit responding to my emails and calls.
04blackgmc retuned my car and it was a night and day difference in terms of driveability, performance and mpg. He spent several hours fixing it and responds within minutes whenever I text him dumb tuning questions lol
Nice car tho!

Oh yeah, and he had my car for several days cuz my car was "so hard to tune" and then has the ***** to ask for more money.
Then when I get it back the VE tables are off by 20%, my injectors weren't calibrated, and the maf tables were stock.
Avoid him like the plague.

Omar is a piece of ****, I wouldnt wipe my *** with his tuning ability because i would be afraid my butthole wouldnt work right anymore.
That being said PBJ has done my tunes in the past and 04BlackGmc will be doing the tunes from here on out because im picky

There's tons of people that I know who pbj has tuned their cars and been great. I'm not knocking anyone just giving the OP another option and who he chooses is his decision whether or not its joe, 04BlackGMC, or whoever
There are many options in this area true...but I've heard good and bad about everybody except 04blackgmc. Not trying to be a nutswinger, but he has the best reputation and hes way more reasonably priced than most
Thanks everyone for all the input. I just wish I had this info a little sooner.
Also if anyone wants to come out and go for a spin in the Daytona I will be racing it at Family arena on Sunday between 1-3pm. I normall give rides on the 1st few runs and then run solo on the last couple trying to put up a good time. If you have never experienced a 1.5G turn on R-Comps you should come out and try it. There is a waiver you have to sign, but rides and spectating is free.

Awesome car! I recently picked up your car's arch enemy - Mongoose 1963 Corvette Grand Sport.
I really love the Daytona coupes and am of the same opinion as you, I just prefer the coupes over the roadsters.
My car was at St. Louis Run & Gun 3 years straight, '09-'11, placing 1st or 2nd in its class (2nd behind the Mongoose GTP) - unfortunately, I wasn't driving, but I plan on getting involved locally where I live in the next year or two (Track is being paved).
Like you, I want to swap to LS powered, have a ZZ502, but would like to swap to a built LSx (aluminum), N/A, with individual throttle bodies as a throw-back to the original Grand Sports.
Anyway, beautiful car! Excellent work as well keeping the weight low

Again, I love your Daytona coupe, maybe I will have to add one to my garage one day to sit beside the Grand Sport
I like that the grandsport has a real door as the coupe setup is a bit flimsy. The place the coupe has a big advantage is the hood. The tilt design makes it easy to work on.
It is amazing how close the 2 are in design. What does your weigh?
