GTO dropped off Well took the 90 min hike from here in worcester down to eastside performance, to have the cam put in 
I can't wait until she is done, I probably won't be able to pick her up until friday no biggie friday is looking to be nice up here in worcester! Now my question is do they tune real conservative over @ esp? I have a couple over @ ls2gto.com saying that eastside tunes on the conservative side and I won't get the numbers I was hoping for. Is there truth to this and if so is there a reason? I'm just curious because I spoke with a number of Fbod owners from this site here and everyone of them loves esp.

They're not gonna send your car out with a tune that could hurt the motor... it's gonna be on the safe side. But, understand that you're only talking about a 10 hp difference from a tune that is safe, and a tune that is on the edge.... that being said, it's not really worth having it any way other then safe.
Would you rather have a tune that you can drive on and know the car is not gonna hurt itself, or want a tune that will lead to burnt piston? Don't worry, you're in good hands.
What exactly do you have done to the car, and what were you hoping for power? Did eastside get you the cam, or did you supply it?

We do NOT tune cars to a unsafe level, plain and simple, your timing tables and air fuel will be correct for your set up, anyone saying we tune to conservative an you wont get the numbers your looking for are either competing shops/tuners or people who have unrealistic goals for their st ups.
your car is in VERY good hands

ESP is the only place, other than my own shop, that I would trust with my car. You are in good hands and don't believe any haters. Best thing to do is to call sean and let him know what you want.
On a side note, 10 extra rwhp isn't worth have the risk of blowing the engine IMO.

When I went there yesterday it was exactly what I expected nothing but GM performance and thats a good sign. By the way I am having a cam installed 232/234 112lsa pushrods and springs. The price is great and customer service has been outstanding thus far. Can't wait til I get her back. I feel lonely right now.

well, I had to register on the damn gto site to post, but hopeully it was worth it.
I dunno who the hell mongillo is, never heard of them before.... doesn't mean they don't know anything, but I highly doubt they have 1/10000 of the experience with lsx stuff that the sponsors on here have. That being said.....
