Tuners in SE WI, Chicago area?
#25
It was indeed a lot of fun rolling with you guys one last time before the snow arrived. Too bad our cruise was cut short by the stupid Honda Element rear ending my car. Its a good thing the only damage it suffered was a cracked bumper.
On the other hand, i guess the bad tune finally caused my car to blow a head gasket. That's why you saw the white puffy smoke coming out of the tail pipes. The heads were going to come off anyway for a heads/cam swap over the winter so i'm not too bummed out. It just sucks that i might have to have it taken apart sooner than i planned. Otherwise, the coolant in the cylinders might cause the internals to rust.
All the same, i'm very excited about all of us getting together again come spring. I'm curious to see what upgrades the other club members have for their cars.

every shop will have positive and negative comments.
wherever you go, make sure they keep your car overnight so they can tune your start-up and idle airflow.
its easy tuning WOT
idle/street driving tuning is a bitch and a half.
if i were you, i'd start checking out the pcm/diag section for the FAQs and the most common occurrences. Even if you aren't tuning, knowing a little something about what SHOULD happen will let you ask the most questions before committing to a tuner.

Yeah for the bolt on tune I wasn't too concerned with drivability, but when I have them tune for my cam swap I'll make sure I can have one of them ride with me so we can work on the street driving stuff. Here's what they managed to pull out of the car vs the factory tune.

We're going to have a date and time finalized by late February, mid March. I'll post a tread with the details when we do. We did this cruise(https://ls1tech.com/forums/midwester...holy-hill.html) before the season ended and it was a blast.

Hey this is Jeff from Late Model Throttle. Found this thread while browsing the internet, wish I had seen it last month before you got you car tuned! We have been difficult to get ahold of in the past, but now have someone answering the phones during the day full-time and still keep late hours at night. I apologize for any inconveniences or frustration in the past. We are running some tuning specials during these next few winter months, check the website or give us a call!
