The intake and throttle body special will be in effect for all these locations as well. Here is a link to the special:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/corvette-...cial-back.html

For those that are not familiar with Jeremy Formato tuning, here is some information:

The cost of dyno tuning is $400 + $85/hr for the dyno. If you are just looking for a street tune he can also do that for $300 w/ WB o2. We work very hard and are extremely thorough to make sure every vehicle is perfect and you are completely satisfied.

We are here to optimize the tuning of your LSx based vehicle. We also offer power packages that will meet your performance goals. We help you select the best parts that will give the best bang for the buck and make the right combination custom tailored for YOUR application. We are extremely thorough and precise in our tuning and go much farther into the code than other tuners. We tune the vehicle from idle, through wide open throttle, and as aggressively as you want to optimize the vehicles full potential for power and fuel efficiency without sacrificing any longevity. We inform each and every customer of exactly what is going on with the vehicle and explain what certain tables do and how to improve the vehicle. We have ported throttle bodies and intake manifolds with repeatable Dyno proven results. We try our best to offer the most aggressively ported manifolds money can buy. We test on the Dyno as well as the street to make sure everything is safe and dialed in 100%.

With our custom tuning we address many of the limitations the factory has placed on the vehicle. GMs minimum of 91OCT fuel allows us to gain power if we are using a fuel of greater octane. Later model vehicles lose a vast amount of power as they heat up, we combat this and make them much more consistently powerful. You don’t have to be racing to enjoy what we can do for you. Daily drivers can still have a bit more fun on your daily commute . If it’s the pesky 1 to 4 skip shift, the hot coolant temp, lack of power, fuel economy or throttle response, slow or soft trans shifts, shift points, WE CAN HELP.
The car will accelerate much smoother and effortlessly, it will have sharper response and more power when we optimize the tune.

With a ported throttle body, you will feel greatly improved throttle response and in the bottom end/mid range a strong seat of the pants increase. Many liken the difference to taking about 350lbs out of the vehicle. It truly makes the car much more fun to drive. Our Manifolds are very thoroughly ported not only in the runners but also much of the plenum and TB flange are enlarged in order to support more airflow from idle, thru the upper RPMs. The larger the air reservoir is, the less likely it is to deplete the greater volume in the upper RPMs. Hence the difference of the '00 LS1 intake vs the '01 LS6 intake, a small plenum volume change gained 10RWHP and 10RWTQ.

We also port LSX FAST manifolds. We have been modifying our LSX manifolds more extensively than our competitors and found more power in certain areas that others do not touch. We open the TB flanges as well as reshape the bell-mouth port entry and increase plenum volume, resulting in a minimum average gain of10RWHP and 10RWTQ avg. gain over non ported FAST's.

LS1's and LS6's are not ported, as we have seen no measurable gains in porting these intakes, the runners and plenum are thin and without obstruction. If an upgrade is desired we suggest the FAST LSX manifold for ’01-04 model years or an 01-04 manifold for 97-00 model years.

We have been tuning for over 10 years and have tuned literally thousands of LSX based vehicles from stock to 1100HP. We are based in FL but travel all around the country Dyno tuning and porting. We know what it takes to make a ROCK SOLID COMBO with best TQ and smoothness. Please feel free to call us and ask ANY questions basic to advanced tough questions. If we don’t know we will find out. We are honest and will do our best to make you happy with all the work we do!

Nothing in that area - unfortunately that is right about the midway point between Orlando and Davie.

Awesome - please don't hesitate to call us with any questions at 813 476 7364 or Jeremy directly on his cell at 813 495 8778. He just tuned a heads/cam full bolt on brand new SS that came down from Jacksonville a couple weeks ago.

i have a 99 pontiac trans am that only has a few bolt on’s and 3.73 gears from the factory 3.23 gears…



My issue is the car pings/knocks under wot unless I have 100 octane gas..



No matter what brand of 93 wether it be Sunoco Exxon mobil Amoco shell whatever it knocks under wide open throttle and it has Always done this since I have owned it..prior to any mods





This is pretty much what I have done so far

Slp air lid k&n air filter

160 thermostat

New spark plugs

Superchips programmer

Gutted cats flowmaster muffler

Transgo reprogramming shift kit

Descreened mass airflow sensor

Throttlebody bypass

Egr tube cut

3.73 rear gears

275/50/15 rear mickey Thompson drag radials <26inch tall>

Line lock <slp>



Just so you know this was a 1 owner car up till about 1 yr ago and never raced until I got my hands on it.



My best at the track so far is a 13.04 @ 107.88 and that was a 1.95 60ft



So im wondering what you would suggest for me and my pinging problem



I live in winter springs just north east of Orlando but im willing to make the trip to your maitland location on the 9th if you have time early that morning?

if you car has alot of miles on it, you should try applying seafoam to clean the build up in your heads. That should reduce your knock. Then have it tuned after the application

in the elevens- We just canceled the Orl trip, had a few things fall thru but we may be there in the next week or so. If you would like to have your car tuned please give us a call and we can discuss a few options or if you would just like to ask a few questions. 813-495-8778 or 813-476-7364 shop. There are a number of reasons why the car is pinging and we can get it optimized.
Thank you
Jeremy Formato

Do you do speed density tunes on these days or are they by appointment?

I know these are past, just asking, looking for a tune in mid to late Sept.

Absolutely do - just give us a call for an appointment, or PM me with your contact info and where you are so we can notify you the next time Jeremy is heading into your area.

Thanks
