HELP! Need install and dyno advice.
I'm getting ready to add a long list of goodies and I want to know where you guys have been going for installs and Dyno testing in the greater Seattle area.
Close to Federal Way and a shop specializing in Drag strip set ups would be the best. Thanks in advance for the tips! |

Well, for installs I done all myself. For Dyno tuning you have Card connection in Kirkland, WA. But, I was told the best tuning guy Is Tom Wong in Vancouver, WA.
Now Alex did really a nice job for me at Carb connection. |

Okay just my .02 cents but i would not take it to Alex with Carb Connection, take it to Vancouver and have Tom do any and all work for your whip by him. I personally had a bad experience with Carb Conn, when it came time to do other things to my ride, i performed the work and towed it down to Tom because of pricing and quality with Carb Conn! Not only did he Tune my ride but balanced my motor which made a night and day difference!

My experience with Alex at carb Conn wasn't so great either... I only had it Dyno'd, but in my opinion (formed after plenty of discussion with others), he calibrates his Dyno low just to sell you stuff you might not need.

Like i said Tom my .02 cents. I was going to have them also order my LS3 conversion kit, LS7 lifters, Pac Springs, Manley Connecting Rods, Manley Valves, New Timing Gear & Chain, Alex gave me a price almost 2 grand to the other person i got a quote from, and i had Tom Wong Do the rest for another 2 grand cheaper than Alex so if the poster on this thread thinks about it he better check out which one is best for him and his pocket book, and i will just give you my experience with Carb Conn which was not good one bit!

I understand completely. Lucky for me I never had any problems with Alex. He's up front about everything. Sorry, you had a bad relations with he. Do you think Tom Wong can pull more than 576HP and 510 torque on my ride? I just don't want to spend another 500 for him to tell me there's now to tune left on the motor setup I have.

I would have a guy named Jeff Carver in your neck of the woods Tom Balance your motor first, then go from there! Have you balanced your motor harmonically?
Edit: I will Pm you his info when i can find it, but he is just a LSX tech and very good at what he does (Burien). Everyone here in Lombardo Next level which is a group i am part of swears by Tom Wong! Last edited by RED DEMON SS; 08-05-2012 at 01:42 PM. |

Tom you have a pro charger correct? If so have you ever had your motor balanced?

I have the Vortech S/C and the kit came with an ATI balance kit and Not sure what you mean by resonance in your motor. I runs exactly the same before I s/c it. I get hwy mileage in an average of 21.5 mpg and in the city around 16 mpg.

Wow that's great numbers! (Is that the V-3 Si Supercharger Kit?) My motor would barely run when i got it back from Alex, he said they tuned it. When i went into my ECM i found out they did not tune it and used a stock S/C tune with some tweaks...
On another note i wished i could get that kind of gasmileage! Resonance: Choppy, Jumpy, Out of balance is what i meant. Last edited by RED DEMON SS; 08-05-2012 at 02:20 PM. |
