yeah those are nice. what size of tire you going to run on it?
im assuming that its a diesel, im a smarty dealer if your looking for a programer.
ive been out of drag racing for about 10 years because i was playing with cummins diesels but now the you have to have 80,000 in a truck to do any good so i just work on them now.

20x8.5 I work for Cummins so I "can" tune it myself but I already have a Smarty Jr on the truck.

Might as well start some bickering like Juiced96z

Juiced96z you should be ashamed of yourself!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


PRI had the new LS stuff at the Edelbrock booth, lots of pics floating around.

James, just don't let the last person that tuned your red car tune this motor... your MPG blows for the times that car runs.... you could have a BBC for that kind of MPG!!!!!

OK David, Start some more ****! @$$hole!
Anyways, When are you getting the Iroc back on the road man?

Also, who knows anything about Chad at greenlight??? I was told to check into having him tune the car for me, but I dunno much about any tuners locally other than DHeck! Which BTW doesn't know how to call people back!

Also thinking about having Pro Dyno Tech look at it! -Ron is a good tuner from what everyone tells me!

I have heard good things about Chad, I think he did some work for Benny a while back, he would know more about him then I.


It will be a bit before its on the road, the wife wants it to be a built BBC car with some goodies.

Is Pro Dyno tech the place that Jeff went to way out in the boonies?

If so maybe you remember the suds that night with him and his wife hahaha, could be a different shop.


Edelbrock stuff.... http://video.streetlegaltv.com/video...l.php?mId=7727

James, if you want to go talk to Ron at PDT just LMK and I'll go with you. I need to talk to him about my car as well. If you call, Priscila will most likely screen you out, it pretty much takes a ride out to Crawfordsville to see him. And you have to set up an appointment, he is not there all the time.

Yeah thats the same guy and his wife....

James, Ill never take that guy any of my cars that I would ever own, a few people hang off his ***** but more then a few times at the suds he was well.... him.

For starters he was talking to the dude with the white 383 LT1 Z and was saying all sorts of crap and recomending parts that DON'T WORK! Then one night when he had his Vette there Jeff was talking some trash to me about me racing the Vette and how I would get beat, this dude and his wife have their noses up in the air the entire time then when I had that coil problem instead of offering to help his wife goes "that sucks, hope you get it fixed before it gets to dark" and walks away....... yeah Ill take my cars to them....

Come to find out it makes like 500hp but doest hook for a few gears..... If I remember right I tired to get them to run it one night he he just shook his head and drove off...

Take your car to Dheck or Chad.... While you are at it take your red car in also

I have heard nothing but good thing about Chad at GLM, hung out with him at the LSX Shootout, he even came down this summer to a friends house and tuned several cars at the same time, he tuned my code out after my header install. Hes a good guy and knows what he is doing. I have been in quite a few cars he has tuned and all run great! After I get my intake on and duals(hopefully by spring) Ill be going to him to get a full tune on my car.

im new to tuning, diesels you just cram as much fuel as you can in there build as much boost as you can and let it eat. i wouldnt even consider it tuning.
im also a hard head and im going to learn how to tune this thing or it just going to be a turd. surley it cant be that hard.
why dont you guys tune your cars? is it really that complicated or is it because you dont want to spend the money for the software and tools? has anyone one just totally screwed up theyre car trying?

I let someone else do it, because I would be THAT one person that would screw his car up trying.

x2. Chad/Pat did mine and did a great job. I'll have them retune it this spring after the cam install.

Yeah, Chad is bad-***. Especially if you ever want to diagnose a problem with your car.
