He's right. Its is actually more helpful to do a tune on the street. You can't get the same effect from a dyno. It may put a load down, but its a simulation...which means its not the real thing. It is nice to have dyno time when the majority of the tuning is done so you can make some WOT passes to check A/F and other components.
My recommendation, find someone who will tune it on the street in real life driving conditions. After the bulk of the tuning is done, take it to a dyno and do some WOT passes that way you don't have to worry about the police, other drivers, etc. You will get some numbers right then and there as well.
I shot you another PM.

Thanks for the suggestions Purdueranger and Burt! I Appreciate it alot.

Moving up to the Seymour area in Febuary, how is the scene up in indy during spring/summer? I will only be 45min or so away so will probably venture up there in my TA from time to time.

I saw you were changing pistons. Unfortunate, but that's life. Did you stud the mains also, or just the heads?
Stock LT1, huh? I've heard about those guys that prevaricate about their vehicle's potentional...
Kind of like that caged LS1 down in Whiteland that only goes 12.9 in the 1/4.
