Thanks Joe. Much appreciated. Just to show how much I appreciated that, I will go outta my way to let you give me car advice in the future. I'm kinda cool like that. (it's a damned miracle that I have escaped being beat unmercilessly from my sence of humor)
I was serious about the thanks, however. That was no B.S.

unfortuanetly I don't believe we have any sponsors that are out your way. Since there aren't likely very many LS1s around, that means there probably aren't many people knoweldable on LS1 Tuning.
As such as others have mentioned, your best bet is probably to check out the various tuning solutions that are available.
The big 2 right now are HP Tuners (www.hptuners.com) and EFI Live (www.efilive.com)
As for which is better... it boils down to ones opinion of the software they use, and opinions are like... well you know the rest heh Check out this forum, and each manufacturers forums/manuals etc... to see which you think you'd feel most comfortable with.
You'll find in the long run, while time consuming, you'll be much happier being able to tune yourself and make changes on your own schedule and not someone elses.
Also something to look into is a wideband O2 sensor , they are sub 200 US for ones such as the LC-1 (sold through dynotune.org and several other sponsors)

Thanks for all of the info guys. I meant I would buy your beer while you were here tuning the car. Maybe a few days worth not a lifetime supply. I have been thinking about doing the tuning myself, but I will have to get a laptop and the tuning software.

Had many probs with my car, so many things in a row, need to sort out reliability before the trip. Going to do a few long runs over the next few weeks, so that will put it to the test.
What year is your car?

I know my scanning software will scan other cars, but to modify stuff I can only do 2000's, unless I get a different licence from HP Tuners, which i will look into.
Dyno-Day I'll be there in my 93. You need to jump on quick if you are serious as we need 20 cars.
And for the people that think they're aren't a lot of LS1's over seas. Think again. They are everywhere but still rare.
