Ok I need to find a good tuner since Ed wright retired. Does anybody know of someone that's as good or better than Ed? I'm willing to trailer my car 6-8hrs for it after I get it installed. For those that don't know I bought a 383, 11.89:1 compression, afr 210 (very early lt1 afr castings) heads ported by LE, .639/.646 sr cam (105.5 lsa), and Jessel shaft mount rockers on a 1.6 ratio. Now it came with a converted sbc victor efi intake (it even came with rails and injectors), but I already have a fully ported edelbrock lt1 intake. Which one should I use? It has 32lb injectors on it as well do I need to swap to 42's? I won't be able to swap to a 24x this year so I need somebody that's good with the factory pcm's.

Ed Wright is retired? His website is still up- http://www.fastchip.com/

Mo Bailey and Bryan Herter both have very good reputations as well. Not sure who is geographically better suited to you.

I called and talked to him. He no longer does chassis tuning only engine tuning. Where are each other them located.

Well, apparently ltxtech will not let me post links to their contact info. Mo is in Texas. Bryan is in North Carolina.

I'm in the same boat, I was looking forward to goin back to Ed's shop for another tune but when I emailed him to set it up he said he sold it over a year ago. I'm getting ready to send MO a PM now, there's also someone in the Wichita area that I think tuned Collin's car.

If you guys purchase the tuning software i'm sure any competent LSX tuner could have a whack at it. It is roughly $250 right here:

You can purchase more vins as well or buy the unlimited package.

Here's tunercat:

tunercat is a little cheaper

I've looked into that and all the tunnung shops near KC don't want to touch LT1's. I don't think they can be THAT different from LS cars. They also all want to use their own software and computers. If I had a stock car to play with I'd be more into trying it myself. I've got too much $ wrapped up into this setup to learn by trial and error and risk hurting something.

I thought tunercat sold out to JET for the OBDII cars? Hadn't seen the carputing thing before, good to know.
