Carbed LSx tuning? Ok guys, Im currently working on an LSx project and have some questions about how to set this thing up. Its just a carbed LSx conversion....nothing big. Here is my question....Where would I take this thing to get it tuned so that its close enough on the A/F and other paramaters so that it dont leave my rotating assembly in the oil pan the first time I hit the spray? There are many shops that specialize in EFI LSx tuning but Im unaware of any "specialists" for the carbed setups. I am definitely not a carb tuner and dont think im capable of setting a carb to idle or run right on an engine with over 240+ duration. Oh, Im about an hour or so from DFW.

If its tuned correctly lean, plugs the correct heat range, etc...the fueling for the motor will be added via the nitrous kit with a stand alone. This is only a nitrous tune up...Not if the motor will be run NA only.

Ive gotten one reply through pm's about a sponsor shop that does carb tuning but it is about 6 hours from me. I was hoping to stay in the dfw area but if nothing else turns up closer I guess Im gonna have to travel. My biggest concern is tuning the carb. Im clueless.

David Reher and Bobby Cross can tune pretty well as well. But getting them to do so would be tough lol.
