Default Sts Kit Need Tune And Cam

1st time to post.
I bought an sts kit and I am going to need a good tune.
Also Im trying to find some one who sell's a good turbo cam for
the lt1. I'm not looking to go ***** to the wall. I just want a cam
that will work good w/ the turbo.
Thanks

I know very little about turbo-suited cams but I believe they are best evenly split, correct?

As for a tune, definitely go with a dyno tune from a shop with forced induction.

Keep us posted!

Yes, I do think the only way to go is a dyno tune. But who and were in Dallas. There is
a lot of shops that Dyno Tune, but none have Lt1 edit.

You'll have to find a dyno tune like said above, but as for the cam, your best bet is to get back with STS and have them recommend one. It's their system and they will have the best recommendations.

If you want a custom grind, I'd PM Bret Bauer (SStrokerAce on CZ28.com). If you're looking for an off the shelf grind either talk to Rick, Cmotorsports or any other number of suppliers.

STS give's good feed back, but I was hoping some one had a turbo lt1 that
could give me some input on hp gains and where to buy. I think most of what STS uses is custom grind.
And does any one know if you can make the 28lb injectors out of an ls1 work in a lt1.I'm shure this has been talked about, but I'm new.
Thanks for the help.

I don't believe the injectors are interchangeable.

Default re

the ls1 injectors are actually smaller flow wise than our stock injectors they are rated at a higher pressure on the ls1 and therefore get the higher rating the lt1's injectors at the same pressure actually out flow the ls1!!!

A&S Automotive in Keller, Tx. is a great tuner. He mainly deals with LT1s. I don't have the phone number on me right now, but I will try to post it for you later. Scott is the tuners name. I think he used to be a GM field engineer. He tunes a lot of LT1 vettes.
