Always measure regardless, I'd take it to a pro so it gets done right.

Sounds like your tuner knows his stuff. What's his name?

Its been a learning process for sure. I was going to go with a well know ls tuner in Pensacola, then a buddy suggested this local shop. I learned a $1300 lesson. Ouch

Yes, after about a week on the crap tune. Its now Weeks tuned with 409 whp, till I took it to the track a few weeks ago and burned up the wire harness. I need to get out there in this 95 degree Florida weather and find the issue. I also need some slicks if anyone is looking to sell some wheels and tires!
