Pendleton is a neat town. Im about 1.5hrs away and tend to go there atleast once or twice a year it seems. GREAT whiskey too!

Portland for closest tuner huh...i need to chop chop getting my nova running and tuned, obviously theres money to be made being able to tune over here on the dry side of washington and oregon.

I'd love to get away from Portland. My nice quiet calm city is no longer that way. Traffic is a freaking disaster.
But, like my old house and the fact that I have two drag strips close.

I'm sure there are plenty of areas in eastern OR to do some effective street tuning. Which is the biggest part of a good tune.

For the guys who need the "numbers", you will need a dyno.

Get that nova going!

O yea there are some nice roads out here and i love the smaller amount of people. i lived in NJ NC NY FL CA but mostly all near cites but in NC.

Down side most things need to be ordered in cause no one even stocks tires for my car here.

Hi, I just found this message board and I'm looking for Ron, I am not very good at computers. If this is him perhaps you would let me know and I will explain my problem and see if it's something you're interested in trying to fix. Thanks, Walt

You mean RonSSNova? He IS still around. But he would need to catch this thread to see this.

Hi Ron, thanks for getting back with me, I've read lots of good things about you. Reader's digest version of what's going on. 2017 I bought all new from Jegs, LS3 495 hp. 4L70E both units came with new GM controllers (I know hindsight) I'm quite sure you know Tommy Wong, Wong's performance in Vancouver. He's been working on this on and off for the last 3 years. The problem is idle. He can adjust it and it will go up. And he can adjust it to go down but it will not go past 8:50 to 8.75. have you encountered this problem? According to the internet there's a lot of people with this problem. The idle needs to be about 700 to 750. I don't want to take up too much of your time so, I will stop here and see what you say. Thanks once again for trying to help me out. Walt

Apache panel truck? 😊

Yes, it is another panel truck. not the one you've already worked on. Mine's a 58. Weird huh.

Hey Walt. So either you have 2 of them or there is another Walt.

I worked a Dings when I tuned on one.

Anyway, I remember the issue so I looked it up. Guys on HPT say you need to find a 430 HP crate tune and write that in, then retune. I gather GM changed something with the 480 and 525 HP tunes and you can’t set idle speed.
But you can for the 430hp tune.
