Default LS1 Tuning Question

I just picked up a 99 z28 with a cam, full long tube hooker headers, full exhaust, etc. Just found out it's never seen a trip to the dyno for a good tune. Anyone have any suggestions on who to take it to?

You can also get in touch with Brent at Dyno Tuned Performance (757) 549-3966. I have seen hem tune quite a few ls1 based cars lately.

have you thought about learning to tune yourself? the most popular tuning programs for LS1s are ls1edit and efilive. check them out. The tuning sw will cost you less than having someone tune it for you, if youre interested.

I am indeed interested. The only thing is that I don't really know what I am doing. Folks on the LS1 forums say HPTuner is the best...?

HP Tuners and EFIlive are two of the best.

HPtuners actually also has its own message board where you can ask questions and get advice too. Everybody has to start somewhere.
