I plan on doing an LS1 swap, L92 based motor, and a few other goodies this winter. Definitly going to need a tune even if a stock LS1 with a cam goes in while I finish the good motor.

EDIT: oh yeah Don, do you happen to have a complete wiring harness and computer for an LS1 car laying around?

If you can get a dyno (or have access to one), dyno tune will make alot of business in the winter time. Or become a parts supplier. This ontop of the installs.

I have a dyno and tune everyday

There is a reason I don't do "Bolt on Dyno tunes". They are not the right way to do a tune
I might do a tuning special though.

BTW- I have access to all parts but we rarely do mailorder to people.I pass the savings onto the customer when we install them.

He works for Dez Racing in Seekonk Mass, which is a sponsor, if you didn't know. And I think he was curious what kind of packages people are looking at for the winter. He was not asking for advice on how to do business for the winter?!

Damn it... I need everything.

I was planning on a forged 402 with a Turbo. Now I've got 3 big $$$ projects so I won't be able to do ****...

I need to get my F14 cam installed, been in my room for 2 years. Then I need a tune.

I need to get a deal on a 12 bolt, CF driveshaft, and Gforce built T56.

Any ideas on those 3 Don?

Hey, its just helpful hints. I'm involved with more local shops like ESP or Jannetty Racing, since they are local. I havent had a chance to go north to see the shop. On a side note when I did talk to you last year, you mentioned he didnt have a dyno. I went to dezracing.com and I saw a vid but didnt specify. Just a FYI.

But let me ask you this, have had your car redyno'ed? Has it hit 12's with you driving it yet. If you don't recall we went to LVD last fall, my car had a horrible tranny issue and you were running low 13's I havent seen on AIM to ask? I myself is starting another project due to LS1's are newer, better looking and faster with less work! Plus I liked the way your car looked.

Good luck for everyone, make some money!

Like I've mentioned before, my boyfriend WORKS at jannetty racing and I am there practically every saturday and have never seen you there? And I never said Dez Racing didn't have a dyno? If so, how did I dyno my car, at my house? And no I have not had my car redynoed as I have not put in any other mods. For the 2 times I have been to the track this year, I have been running 12s each time, with a new best last weekend (12.44 with a 1.9 60'), with help from Ted teaching me how to actually launch my car. If you remember, when I was running 13.0s, I had 2.3 60's with TERRIBLE shifting, while now I am hitting 1.8-1.9s consistantly. And I am on aim practically everyday I just have everyone not on my buddy list blocked, hence why you do not see me.

Im glad thats working for you, I dont bother ted unless I'm doing something. I suggested that before you left last year from the track. I am glad you took the advice. Ted def. know his stuff. I was looking at buy his 2002 blown T/A but its a lil out of my reach. Ted Dyno tuned the car and made decent put but then stuff broke.

Again, not spamin up the post but ill take it to pm's next time.

FYI I did not take any of your advice, nor do I remember you trying to give me advice? Ted happened to be at the track that day with his son and that is why he helped me. End of story
