Default Heads and cam done!!!

Picking up my camaro today from getting my heads and cam installed. Anyone know of any good shops i can get a tune at in or around the northern VA area? Im about 60miles from F-body central and want to know if theres anything closer. If not, anyone know what FBC's shop hours are?

You should have had the H/C done by a shop that could tune the car when they are done. You probably also need larger injectors. Not sure if you had them, but the car needs to be tunned for them before you install them.

I'm sure someone will chime in on who is close to you and good.

Good luck :drvie:

I had a friend of a friend do the install for me who only charged me $50 per/hr so i couldnt pass it up. I ordered a set of 37lb/hr injectors for it that i should have tomorrow so i can get the tuning done. Thanks for the info

It is a far drive so i understand that but i have PLENTY of people come from down your way.

I can do it before OCMD if you want. We will also all be down there.

Its either Fran at RPM or Frost at lsxtune or VA Speed. All those options are pretty far away. I was going to PM you about crusing to O.C thursday. I have hptuners if you need it. Pretty sure it would cost me some credits to actually tune your car but if you just need it to be driveable i'm sure we could work with it. Or you have one of the sponsors do a mail order tune. Just PM me if you need a hand getting the car together before O.C. I'm right around the corner.

Thanks for the info guys. I've been talking with some guys on f-bodyhideout also and they highly recomended me John from Khaotic Kreations in Warrenton,VA which is close by, only 20+miles. I gave him a ring and hes gonna do my tunning on wed. I'll post some #'s when i get them and hope to see some of you at the OC cruise.
