North Carolina members, I need some help$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I am running really rich, throwing flames out of my exhaust. I need someone with HP tuners or ls1 edit to give me a tune for some $$$$$$$. There are no LS1 shops around me and besides that I really don't have the funds for a 450.00 dyno tune. I also do not have a lap top for the editing programs.
If you look in my sig you will see that I have 28.8 pound injectors which I originally had 26.4, to let everyone know right now the problem started before I installed the injectors. Had I known I was running rich in the first place I would not have put them in. I never knew it was throwing flames untill the other day. I was told it was popping, which is all I thought it was doing, due to an exhaust leak or a broken baffle in the muffler so i went with a new exhaust set up and had everything welded. Well needless to say that was not the problem. I found the problem while recording a sound clip for my new exhaust. Which is a custom magnaflow set up not the regular cat back.
I used the smaller 5"x8"x14" muffler which is what they use on the V6 catback to make it loud. They use a 5"x8"x18" and of course the smaller the louder! Here is what it sounds like and a vid of the fire *****, You have to right click and save as.http://www.angelfire.com/ult/insayne...s/100_4624.MOV
TIA,
Shane

To get you fueling correct you are going to need a full tune and I don't know of anyway to do that without spending $400 +.

In order to use HP tuners you have to have the same car (a camaro/firebird, either v6 or v8) and the same year. So if your car is a 2001 Camaro LS1, you need to find someone with HP tuner that has it for a 2001 Camaro/Firebird LS1.

Yes it is. But if you have a decently modded car it's worth it. The only thing I had when I got mine tuned was QTP longtubes, GMMG exhaust, and an airlid. I picked up about 15 hp from non-tune to tuned. I maybed picked up 10 tq from non-tune to tune as well. So it would help regardless of if you had this problem.
Call Jeff at the number listed on the CAM webpage above and make an appointment.
