EPS hands down. Geoff is truly a master at his craft, and has been doing it since the early LT1 days.

Is Geoff really as good as I've been told? How is he with autos? What does he tune with?

He tunes the fastest car in the country. Like I said, his knowledge is mind boggling. Then again, that's what engineers do.

Yes, he's that good. He's one of the first guys to ever start tuning these cars. He's awesome with autos, and knows how to not blow your **** up.

EFI Live, which in my opinion, is a better program. More options, especially on the MAF scaling.

I have but, I've been having disengagement issues, so I'm pulling the trans again to inspect the clutch. I've been changing things on the car as well. Just taking my time with it as this hot weather is not car material anyways. Lol

Geoff has been doing it for a while, and knows what to do in any situation, as long as you tell him everything you have done to it he can tune it right the first time, He gave me a base tune for my build after a stroker, heads and cam build, told me it might not idle or run right , gave him a list of what I had and it fired up, ran, idled and felt good with just the base tune, I've heard futral can give you more ponies but he tunes right on the edge, but I think a couple of motors that gave up on his dyno he was asked to get more out of it,

I had planned on going to Northshore since tick recommended him but then I heard some things from locals that's not so cool. It'll be sd tuned also. I'll have to give him a ring when the time comes.

Will have ccw classics for sale soon too. 17x9.5 +54 18x10.5 +58
$1500 obo

Alan at Futral tuned mine and runs real good. no problems here. The only thing that blew up on mine while he was dynoing was the driveshaft.
