I'm in that boat, 24x on bolt on cars ha ha I get it. I think of it as planning for the future since as of now I think there's 1 or at this point probably 0 people who tune LT1's here. I'm talking full on dyno tuning. Can't live on mail orders forever. Yes it's bolt on for now but I plan on keeping my car and building for boost so I'd rather not have to fly a tuner out here every time I need adjustments. I believe the opti is capable of living with engines making big power and fast passes. I just don't foresee that being a viable option in my area. Seems like all the LTx enthusiasts are everywhere but here in the Bay Area. There's a few but they're all expressing the same concerns for lack of tuners unfortunately.

We have a couple guys left who still can tune but only if you run 0411 pcm's basically. They mentioned the hardware/software for tuning is long gone and they ain't shelling out to retrieve it so we're SOL unless we convert. At least that's what I'm understanding but correct me if I'm wrong.

Rear mount turbo with 1/4 or half filled block. Has AC, a sound system, and is street driven.

Id rather not grenade it myself lol, me tuning it is for sure 100% chance of destruction. I'll let a proven tuner do it for me. I guess leave it to the professionals as they say. More power to the people who dive in and are successful, I got mad respect for y'all.

I used to think the same way, but after dissecting several mail order tunes I was unhappy with I decided to give it a shot. It takes some getting used to but tuning is definitely not as hard as it seems. I'm pretty satisfied.

However, when the blower goes on my car I'll refrain from tuning with the exception of small tweaks.

I wonder if they did anything to the car to make it more competitive in the 1/8 since their 8.03x 1/4 run. Car is faster down the 1/8 than before.

Using NHRA conversion factors, the results in the first post convert to 7.76 @ 181 MPH. No question that's a 7-second capable car.

His first pass off the trailer at the shootout was a hair shy of a 7 sec pass. He said it was not "turned up" cause it was still the first run of the day.

Its amazing... just imagine if he stripped the interior down for some weight saving.

If you scroll down on the facebook page there are references to 1,200 to 1,300 rwHP, and running E85, 88mm turbo.

yes the car makes well north of 1200whp...I have lots of pics of the car saved on my PC....his 8.03 pass at the shootout was on 14#....there were no changes to the car other than an increase of boost for the 4.99 pass and the 5.03
