I have heard of Norris before, and I hear he does good work. I am fairly new to Jeremy Formato, but I know that the South Florida F-body Association really pushes his product.

You'll definitely need a tune to get the most out of those long tubes...any of the names recommended will do fine.

I'd have Jeremy do it.. He's in Orlando quite often... and does tuning at Corvette Masters in Maitland (Near Roger's Corvette Center) They are good people up there.

Thanks for the help!

Yeah, I wasnt gonna get it tuned now...
cuz I plan on a few more major mods in the
near future...
HOWEVER - Its running pretty rich in lower rpms.
I dont want to take it back to the track until everything
is 100%
......and its KILLING me! I want to take it
out there sooo bad!

Anyone know what it should run?
I got a quote a while back for $450....
Is that about right??? More? Less?

Thanks again guys! You make my life a lot easier!

$450 is too pricey for a car with those mods....

Talk to Jeremy...hes a good guy and has great prices.

you dont need a tune for long tubes. just get some sims. you wont see an improvement worth the money you will spend on the tune wait til you have more mods so that you see more out of your car. 500 bucks for 5-10hp not really worth it. but if you want to have your ses lights taken care of i can do it for 120 bucks.

L/T headers do affect A/F...ive seen bolt on cars pick up more than 5-10whp

If she doesnt plan on doing any thing major for a while why not get a tune now? A lot of tuners hook you up nasty if you are a repeat customer...i know Jeremy does.
