We tune alot of ls swapped vehicles, all the vehicles pictured have been tuned in person by us. We also offer mail order tunes for pretty much all ls swaps. If you go to our facebook page we have alot more pics.

Its very, very nice. Its one of my personal favorites also. Its not only fast it handles like its on rails. It has a one off custom frame and chassis under it also.

I love that LS9 combo. What ECM's are you using for those swaps?

We just tuned them, we do tuning all the tuning for several shops in Houston, College Station, New Caney, Waco, Temple, and Brenham. Most of the LS3 based swaps are all E38, the LS6 stuff mostly LS1B, the one with the LS9 was E67. I personally like the E38 swaps but they are harder getting the right matching ECM/TCM in odd engine trans combo's to work correctly.

I followed the Biscayne build on Roadster Shop's page. That is a damn nice car. Those guys do some really incredible sheet metal work and their chassis are second to none.

Do you guys have any experience with high altitude mail order tunes? I have a 5.3/T56 in my 1998 Ford F150. It's already had the necessary deletions and mail order tune from a shop that has zero experience with high altitude tuning. It runs OK but the engine was assembled for low end and mid range. It has enough mods that it should pull better than it does. Throwing no codes.

Yes we do, have tuned cars from all over through mail order and in person. Have actually been to Albuquerque tuning before a couple years ago. The altitude does does effect the tune, thats for sure.

Question: Do you have experience with non-GM ECM's? I plan on running a Holley HP with a 1200 CFM Accel body, 42# injectors and a Victor, JR (if it fits). I have most of the stuff, it's just time now...

The Roadster shop makes some SERIOUS cars! I love seeing their booth at the good guys car show every year!

That had to be a nice '59 to tune!

Sorry missed your post. Yes we tune have and tune with EFI Live, HP Tuners, SCT, BS3, Fast XFI, and Holley. Have tuned a few other systems also but not on a regular basis.

I would be interested to know the transmission ground clearance with those lowered cars that have the 6L80/6L90 transmissions?

They have really good clearance, most have the trans tunnel raised and are Paul Newman chassis. Havent seen one on stock frame with 6l80 yet.
