Give Futral motor sports a call, mainly an LS1 shop but they have set up a few quick LT1 cars. One of the mods here had a 9 second LT1 blower car on a radial tire set up by them.

You talking about Gator?

There is an awesome tuner in Southhaven, MS. Which is connected to Memphis. His name is Tony Duncan (901) 412 9709. He worked for COMP cams and did tuning there. He does LT 1.

Since dad is building a new toy maybe he won't mind if you take that tired old LT1 off his hands and show it some love.

Subscribing.
I will be needing a tune in a couple months.

What about Mike Norris or Jeremy Formato?
I know that they are generally ls1 tuners. Do they have the ability to tune an lt1 safely and correctly?

David- I think i can help you out. My credentials to name a few are- my own stock pcm 700rwhp LT1, our BS3 limited street orsca car (4.88 at 160ish so far), and the privilege of working with one of the best tuners in the country on a regular basis. Our formula is simple....fantastic initial dyno tune followed by real world track testing.. the dyno is in Woodstock, GA. PM me if interested. I have also heard mr. brand doesnt mess with lt1's anymore but he is also recommended. I have a soft spot for lt1's and especially racing one's....take care

I have tuned quite a few LT cars, but using the customers software if they have it. I do not have the tuning software as I do not get much call for it. I also have a local tuner I use who has worked and retired from GM engineering and is also very close friends with Ed Wright (who is about as good as it gets).

Now I am not very local to you for sure and you mentioned TR which is most likely a very viable option.

Hope this helps.
