welp im kinda already set in stone with this guy since he did rebuild my motor for me. I'd like to have him tune it as well so if there are any problems with the motor the original builder is there to deal with them. The tuning software he uses is Jet Performance though, im not too sure if thats a good software to tune an ls1. He does not have Hp tuners or ls1 edit and i didnt want to buy a program outright since i figured his software would be fine to do it.

good lord, you do not want him tuning the car if he does not have the proper software, Jet is not what needs to be used in your situation.

I work like 5 mins from That shop, but ive never heard anything about his tunes..

On the other hand, ive heard nothing but good about Slowhawk tunes, hes proven time and time again, and obviously is familiar with LSX setups.

I see what your saying how you want the builder to tune the setup, but if he thinks the tune is spot on, when its really off and it blows later down the road, thats alot of money in wasted engine parts as apposed to the couple hundred bucks a slowhawk tune is
