Myself or one of the other sponsors can get you a mail order tune to get it up and solid, but you will have to get it in front of someone with a wideband to tune it in person to get WOT nailed down (and really the area in between). The same is true for the driveability as well.

^^^^^^^^^ Frost (Steve) does my tuning and I won't let anyone else touch my pcm. He is one of the best lsx tuners and his prices are great!

Listen to Frost. Mail order will get it to fire and run, but it needs to be tuned in person if it is as far from stock as yours.
People who say otherwise have cars that drive like **** and they tell themselves otherwise because it'll do a burnout, lol.

Looks like you investing heavily into your project.

So why not include a tuning software package, then you can email the tunes back & forth to get it going rather than sending the ECM. That is almost worth the price of admission.

Something like you are building to have the flexibility to change & modify the tune is a very good feature. You may wish to try a different component or you are not happy the way it runs at a certain rpm....never ending.

WB tuning is mandatory & you would use it all the time.

You can grow into your tuning a s so many of us have.

I see you mentioned CRL's, you might want to inspect those very closely around the roller pin. Watch for cracks from the roller pin back to the main body, I had a couple that were difficult to slide in & when we inspected very closely... that is what we found. Believe it or not it took three boxes before we had a good set.

Not having HP Tuners for me would be like having an old hot rod with no screws or removable jets on the carburetor.

...and the distributor welded to the intake

Just sent my PCM to Frost today. Going to do the dual-flash PCM and a break-in tune for now. He's coming into town in early May for the dyno tuning.

New!

You cannot buy individual....I still have 1 box (1 damaged) that I never returned. Kept those for some reason, maybe if someone just ever needed one or two or three.

Or possibly if I ever needed evidence in the unlikely event my motor puked.
