tunning opinions... 1. have a shop burn a tune on my pcm...send out (they do alot of LS1 TUNNING) EFILIVE
2. have it dyno tune locally EFILIVE
stock 02 LS1 w/1.75 sanderson shorty, exhaust, intake.
shop said their tune vs a dyno tune = 0 rwhp gains (both use EFI LIVE)
what are your thoughts in this case......THANKS

dyno tune. getting her on the dyno is always better, AND street tuning it so that there is sure to be no problems when transitioning between the dyno and daily driving and road load conditions versus dyno load conditions

Our Wait4MePerformance.com mail-order works flawlessly so far. Started right up, the 6-cyl tach works perfectly, good throttle response, nice smooth idle at about 700rpm.
'99 LS1 from a Camaro, stock PCM and harness (we did not remove any wires from the harness to "clean it up") front O2's, 4" dia cats, Sanderson block-huggers, functional EVAP system, no AIR or EGR, VATS deleted, functional MIL light, OBD2 port hooked up (BTW, it would spin but not start until the ground for the OBD2 port was good).
See our swap at:

A plus for the above guy (Jesse Bubb) is that if we throw codes that fail us at emissions, we can have him re-flash the PCM to fix it for just the shipping charge. Also very quick turn-around from him.
