Owen still tunes LT1's and just did mine a couple of months ago. Call Gary at HPE as he can do them thru HPE.

he did a buddies car at hpe.... worst spend of money i have ever seen. would NOT recommend him at all. He picked up a whopping 4 hp he tuned on the car for like 30 minutes and that was it. then went out to the parking lot and did some stuff to another guys car while we were sitting there waiting on him to finish tuning the car.

If your really serious about it, you need to get the stuff to load your own tunes. That way Moe or who ever sends you a base tune, datalog, and send it back and they tweak from there. It also isn't always about peak HP gains.

If I was unfortunate enough to have an LT1 I would go this route. Just pay for support via email and have the ability to tune it yourself. It will be cheaper after switching setups only once.

i did read that post, and i could care less because it wasnt even your car!! and i dont see you making any reccomendations. anyways to the op i speak from experience when i say owen does good tunes because i took MY CAR there and the car runs perfect. if im not mistaken i did see a couple of other people who reccomended owen so im sure they were happy with the tune.
