Alvin at PCM for Less (in Tick Performance's shop - Mooresville NC) can dyno tune it and Jonathan at Tick Performance can help in every other way.
They've helped me out a few times!

well i talked to tick performance a couple of weeks ago cause i knew pcm for less was beside them ,thinking they could finish the car up then pcm for less could dyno tune it . pcm for less told me they dont dyno tune lt1 cars anymore that they could do a mail order tune which im really not a fan of and i dont have a stand alone set up like f.a.s.t. or big stuff 3 to fine tune the car .

thanks guys , alexcoreas i liked the kit easy to install very simple set up. car made good power and the turbo lag wasnt bad at all wraping the tubing up helps also .sometimes i wish i didnt get rid of it cause it worked so well but didnt want to pass up on a deal for the ofi kit but has now become a pain in the @$$.

Thanks for the reply and honesty bro. I was kinda iffy about the lt1boost.net site since all the cars on there need bugs to fix. From ur experience is boost easier to work with or superchargers? The STS kit looks great.
How much of a deal did u get on this new one?

it really depends on the money and your preference but i have had a vortech and that sts kit blew it away on top end at the same psi,but we all know there is more money envolved when going with a turbo setup .the sts kit is pretty simple and you dont have to go and spend money on custom tubing and headers which is a plus . well i wanted something bigger then the ofi kit was available and i sold the sts kit for pretty much what i had in it so that was my good deal.

Yea I'm pretty much debating. Which route to go. Ststurbo is a complete kit. But I don't have a built bottom end or top end at that. Just bolt ons. I wanna do things once rather then twice for my DD
