There is't a lot of tuning that needs to be done for just LT's. As stated before a mal order tune would be fine. I have heard good things about PCM for less.

Oh ok. Well the thing about it is that I still need to be able to pass emissions and from what I heard, there is a couple places that can delete that code for me.

I would think typically what you get from a mail order tune for your mods are the deletion of the rear o2's, air and egr codes removed if need be and maybe some small fueling changes. You should pass IL emissions no problem.

ok...so I just got my car back last nite and the ****** sounded like it was caming. sounded sweet with my new LT's, but as soon as I hit the road, the damn thing was sputuring BAD!! So I thought it was normal because of the code I needed deleted. well I open the hood of my car and theres a spark plug wire just sittin there..

Come to find out, these idiots broke two of my plugs and didn't tell me bout it!!! Now they're saying that they want to fix the problem, which is cool but I don't know if I should trust them. What do you guys think I should do?

Accidents do happen, Let them fix it. At least they are going to man up and take responsibilty for breaking them. Plus the car runs, so obviously they know what they are doing at least somewhat....
