Default Finally had LSX tuned today
Installed LME LSX 438 back in september in my 2000 SS. Had it tuned today at Vengeance by Mike. It made 518 rwhp, 477 rwtq. This through 9" with 3.70's and TH350 w/ 5000 stall. Very pleasant dealings with them. looks like I'll be doing buisiness with them from here on out.

Nice numbers considering how power robbing your drivetrain is. I bet if you were a M6 you would be around 575rwhp. Congrats, and let us know what she runs at the track!!

Thanks guys. That's what I was told. I bought the stall used. Called PTC about the converter. They said it was a 3000-3500 stall. Something tells me that is for a 346!

Sweet results. Could you share some details like the heads, intake, headers, cam, exhaust?

Nice numbers! You have to consider that's 518/477 through a TH350, 5k stall and 9". With a manual that car would probably be at 550.

not cheap. He drove the car for 2 1/2 hours. dynoed 4 pulls. drove again to make sure. Over 650 bucks. It's high, but I didn't want anyone "learning", or practicing on my car.

Hell yea. I'm hoping to pick mine up a little with a smaller stall in front of a 4l80. you have a low geared machine.

Mine has an ATI 4000 nitrous stall. If it still had the M6 it would have made around 590 rwhp. You made the right choice letting Ron and the guys tune your car.
