Those things look brand new!

Minus the rear tires being bald from some apparent burn outs they pretty much are. I couldn't find a single defect on any of them. I hope the seller enjoys his new 24'' Forigatos on his 1LE lol

Good score!
It think they have a few more burnouts left. We can come up with a go pro and make some good YouTube content.

Lol it'll be a good offset considering our cars are opposite colors

I didn't even think about that when I was writing that post!

Anyone want to buy some SS/RS wheels from a 2010 Camaro 2SS with Pirelli PZeros with about 8k miles on them?

Hey guys. Its been awhile since I have posted. I hope everyone is doing well. I am looking for some suggestions for a good tuner in the area. Ive talked with Vengeance but was quoted $750 for a forced induction tune. I thought it was pretty high considering. I have a connection over at Grimes Twister Engines. He gave me the tuner's information they use on all of their race engines but he is located in Tennessee. I have talked with the guy from Spartan in the past when I had nitrous on the car but really do not know much about him or their shop. I need someone reliable and someone who can re-tune the car if I don't make the numbers I am shooting for. My current setup:

Stock LS3
LS9 cam
76mm single turbo
8psi spring in wastegate (hoping for 7.5-8psi total boost)
80lbs Bosch injectors on stock 1LE/ZL1 fuel pump
NO METH and NO E85. PUMP gas only.

My goals are for 625whp and 600ish torque on pump gas. If for some reason the LS9 cam cannot achieve this then I will go another route and upgrade. It should make the power no problem from all the research I have done but want the option as a back up. This is where I will need a good tuner and the option for a re-tune if I change parts. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I was going to go with Vengeance for my tune as well until I was quoted $590 for a dyno tune for just headers and CAI. I even mentioned the forum and didn't get any discount. I know they do great work but I think they're more interested in the Corvette market as of late.

I've done some research and talked to Josh at Spartan LSX and will be using him. He's knowledgeable and his prices are more than fair. He also had some cars put up great numbers at the Vengeance dyno day.

Damn dude...last I saw you...you were running the half mile shootout on nitrous and pretty much selling the car lol...now its hanging a 76 on it. .

Go to josh.

[Josh @ Spartan LSX]

Thank you for the kind words gents.

Mr. StrokerLS1, I'll be more than happy to help you out for a better price. If the car shows up 100% ready to tune and needs absolutely nothing from me minus calibration I can cut you a great deal relative to what the others want for tuning.

My turbo tuning experience goes back to the Buick Grand National days but thanks to one particular gentleman who's no longer in business I've received a WHOLE BUNCH of practice on turbo 5th gens the past couple of years. LOL

Haha I bet you have! How do you tune turbo cars? I was hoping maf for cruising and speed density for wot in the higher rpms. I'm trying for the best of both worlds although this is not my dd. It seems some shops are able to accomplish this "hybrid" method. Also are you able to tune with the Bosch injectors rather than fic or id?

It's mainly dependent on what the car wants me to do. I've found that MAF only with SD disabled can be much more accurate & stable (assuming the MAF is good) on anything below 15psi with these cars. The LS7/cartridge maf is a marvel of engineering and has definitely given tuners a breath of fresh air when it comes to tuning a stable fuel curve. This isn't true for all cars though as MAP kpa and so many other factors come into play. Every one is different, and I treat each one as such. I start completely over every time to make sure I give the car what it wants. Kinda like dating a new hot chick for the first time.
