I haven't heard anything yet. Either my car needs a lot of tuning, or my old lt1 isn't as high as a priority as all the C7s they have at the shop.

As my wife would say: "THAT'S DISCRIMINATION!"

Looking forward to hearing how it turns out.

FYI: Finally turned the key on my build, and the engine turned over, but no fuel.

A buddy of mine was in the shop when I got the Racetronix kit in and I let him install it... .

Another update...

Got a call from the shop. The car is now running on 4 cylinders. Luckily they found out why. Passenger side coil harness connection "on the main harness side" has some charring. Apparently when it was only running on 4 cylinders they could shake the harness connector and it would kick back into 8. Shop said they tried to fix it but it looks like I need to get a new connector. They said that with the poor connection it arched a little and damaged the connector. Now I'll have to wait till Monday to find the connections.

Update finally....I just got home with my car. I actually drove her home from the shop. Sure it was only 30 miles, but I haven't driven her in about a year. Still has some bugs to workout.
1st the transcooler I have is too small for my 3600. The shop told me that I needed a bigger cooler and it never got over 200 degrees, but they didn't drive it far. It got up to 240 degrees while I was driving so I pulled over and stopped at one of the stations I work at and let it cool. Drove home and got up to 240 again. So because the trans was running hot I never got on it to see what she would do.
2nd The car has also developed a squeal when turning left. I'm thinking it's a front wheel bearing but I'm not sure yet.
3rd The shop never tuned for the P0452 or the P0757. They both showed up a mile from my house.
4th They didn't recharge the AC.
5th unfortunately the guy that tuned it wasn't there today. He's the guy that has my dyno results and a video. That kinda frustrated me but it's not that big of a deal. I'd just like to see what kinda power she's making.
As far as I'm concerned, they're all little issues. The car is now running and that's progress.

Sounds like you need to find another tuning shop...
