Where can I get my LT1 tuned? I live around the LA and Santa Barbara area. Thanks.

What all's done to your car? I assume a mail order tune is out?

You might look here (http://ltxtech.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=32) for members in your area who can recommend a local tuner.

Exactly. I bought the car as is and don't know anything what has been done to is. Thanks for the help.

You have no idea at all? Shoot some pictures of the engine bay, exhaust system, etc. and we can help give you some ideas. As far as internal work, we won't be sure though.

anyway you can get hold of the previous owner and ask for a basic rundown of the mods?

Well there has been 3 registered owners and 3 non registered owners of this car but I might be able to contact the last owner. But even if I find the person I dont think they will remember EVERYTHING they did on it.

yes but the major things they will remember...

main things you need to know
Forced induction- what kind of blower (model)
Fuel - is there an upgraded pump, what size injectors
Cam - stock or aftermarket? off the shelf or custom?
Rockers (pics can help us figure this one out though if you pop off the valve covers)
valve springs

Those are some of the bigger things you need to know

I know for sure that the SC is a Vortech V1. We put new bearing and seals in it. The other stuff I will try to find out. I thought that there were lots of things I needed to know. Thanks

Well there are more things that would be nice to know, but the ones I listed are the major ones that can really help a tuner out so they know what stuff to adjust before an initial run.

Oh ok, makes sense.
