Additionally, my LS1M turbo kit is made by a guy that's now producing 03 Cobra go fast goodies (the turncoat <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> )

Anyhow, if LaRocca has LS1Edit and some good tuners with experience, I wouldn't hesitate in the least. Most tuner shops want all the business they can get, especially if they can get their name in a brand market into which they're trying to expand.

All my Ford customers complain that I'm a "Chevy Shop", too. We're actually about 50/50 split between the two here. You'll find that many good tuners won't have difficulty tuning both makes because all the same tuning principles apply, regardless of what badge is on the fender. Go with a tuner you trust and who has the right equipment and you should be fine. LaRocca does good work.

I have noo problems going to Ford shops. There sure seem to be a lot of them. I do find that more than half the Ford shops are biggoted and won't touch Camaros/Corvettes.

it depends on how far your car is from being right
thats the great part of tuning with wide band,a-tap and a dyno
call them and they can run your car on the dyno
and let you know where you are
there is no way to know with out that
for 100 dyno session it worth finding out
by the way i think the chef pick up 25 horse with a safe tune
