I always heard to stay clear of an ORY when dealing w/ an SLP LM or GMMG. I wasn't a fan of the ORY/GMMGs that i'v heard, but loved the catted Y. Maybe it's a personal preference kinda thing :shrug:

Parking Lot Tune: he takes in all the data you can provide about the car and he builds/loads a tune that hes previously made for another car w/ similiar/exact mods. As many cars as hes done w/ different combinations, he pretty much already has a tune for your car just sitting there. Usually, his parking lot tunes are 95% effective compared to the dyno tune.
Dyno Tune: Just like it sounds, he puts it on the dyno and tunes it out to your car, instead of loading a tune that hes done in the past. Usually, unless you just want to see how much power it's putting down (which I would/did), a bolt on car is totally fine w/ just a parkin lot tune whereas a heads &/or cam car is pretty much going to need a dyno tune.
From all accounts, it's a better tune at a cheaper price compared to Thunder Racing & pretty much anyone else around.
well i think i'm going to go around and quote a few pipe shops and see how much they'll charge to run a true dual set up from to manifolds out back to the tips and then get some long tube headers later on and mate them up to the true duals. no cats, just mufflers and an x or h pipe.
