Finally got tuned Car was tuned by Flaco.
Mod on car:
DT headers
Scorpion 1.8's
K&N CAI
DMH 2.5" e-cutout
I am very pleased with the final result. My car made 270.31hp, torque couldn't be measured since his cord wasn't long enough to reach my *** backwards car!!
He said that it should be close to the 300tq range going off of the mph, but I'm not too worried about that. I will say that he is a very stand up guy due to the fact that he didn't try to blow my car up!! One pull he did my car made 280hp, but he said that it was WAYYY to lean and would potentially cause damage to my car, so he fixed it properly and it still made 270hp. I WILL be taking it back to him once my LS6 intake swap is complete.
I'd skip to about 20-25 sec's on this video

As in who's Flaco?
This is Flaco:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfcmloLIkK4&feature=fvst
He's a very respected builder and tuner in Texas. Very well known in the truck world.
He worked some magic with my car as well. My car runs very smooth and shifts like a champ after his tune. I will be going back to him after my LS6 intake swap and DOD delete is complete.

Its about damn time you got it tuned!!! LOL Great choice of tuner btw. How many pulls did he do and what did he charge ? Hopefully you bring the SS down here for some friendly runs at the track.

We have almost identical mods except I run 1.85s and no cutout, I put up very similar numbers, 276 was my best pull. Are those numbers cutout closed then I would guess?
Did you swap pushrods when doing the rocker install?

He must have done about 10-12 pulls before HE was happy with the tune and some heat soak. It was $350, which I thought he charged more. I didn't even ask before I took it to him. I was leaving out of town the next night and needed it done.Cutout was open the whole time.
Yep rods were changed out as well as springs(put LS6 yellows in there).

When I go back to him after my other mods, I'm going to ask him to do some open/closed cut out pulls to see the difference. I didn't even think about it this time, I was just happy to finally get tuned!

I know, it's only been a year since I put all the stuff on!! He must have done about 10-12 pulls before HE was happy with the tune and some heat soak. It was $350, which I thought he charged more. I didn't even ask before I took it to him. I was leaving out of town the next night and needed it done.

I don't know, maybe for new years will be the earliest I'd get down there. I've been up here by Ft. Worth on a job for 2.5 months now and am probably going to start another one by College Station when this one is done.
