Lt1 tuning

Probably a repost if so I'm sorry guys. But I need input about tuning my 94 trans am. I would prefer to have a dyno tune but the only company out here I trust to do it here in Cali doesn't know when he will have the software to tune it. I have heard mixed reviews about hand helds not that I have much choice. The only one I can find is from trifecta. Does anyone on here have any helpful advice on this subject. (another stupid question I know)

You could always get a mail order tune - it should be better than a handheld tuner.

That's who I'll be using after my cam swap. I heard he's the man when it comes to Speed Density.

They should be able to do whatever you need done too. I haven't heard anything but good stuff about them either.

Wow. I didn't realize how much FastChips (Ed Wright) was charging for tunes. His prices for 93's are extremely reasonable and cheaper than most places.

And dont get me wrong, nothing against him AT ALL! I hear he is THE man to talk to regarding LT1's......just not in the price range I needed and I heard NOTHING but good about Ion at Madtuner...his price was right so I went with him.

You go wherever you want man, from what I hear if you have the cash, Ed is your man.....if not, I suggest Ion
