96 Lt1 in my IROC with 4L60e, hard start, running rich etc I don't know about tuning these motors. I have some experience tuning Audi's, and have various tools, none of which I believe will help me here, so I'm just going with "I don't know a darn thing".
The car is cold blooded, it doesn't like to start and it doesn't like to idle until it's warmed up (shutting off as I'm coming to a stop sign etc).
Also I think it's bloody rich, based on the fuel smell coming from my oil change this weekend.
So I've read and in the past there were 3 and then 2 names of folks that had great feedback on remote tuning. (I don't believe any shops in Livermore, CA (turbohoses, is the only place with a dyno). So I'm guessing it's going to be remote tunes.
Are there new players, or really any of the old guard still tuning (Ion), I know PCM4less is still around and so is Soloman (but there seems to have been a falling out there).
96 Lt1, 4l60e, lt4 hot cam, edelbrock shorties, Custom K&N intake (pulling air from under the car). Stock injectors. No smog. No Cats, no smog connections, but obviously I've got 2 O2 sensors working.
Thanks and I'm also okay with "teach them to fish", but my end goal is an LS swap (but dude, the Lt1 is a swap?! Yes I know!!, but LS and 6speed is what I'd like to do). So I'm more interested in solving my immediate situation, so my son can drive it on special occasions (he's sketched now, because it just dies)
