Tune for my winter project.. **Pics Added**

So last weekend i blew my head gasket because i was a moron and i was planning on building the GP over winter but.. this gave me a reason to do it now. I'm doing ALOT of motor work and i need to know a place that will dyno tune a GP and that is reasonably priced. If anyone can help me out on this one that would be AWESOMEE!!

better than a dyno tune?

 

[Mook]

Just as good if not better imo. Ure not gonna find an actual shop that will tune better than those two, let alone tune a 3800 period.

you dont "need" a dyno but its handy for repeatable tests...but you can do pretty damn well with some wide open roads.

TG is pretty busy lately with work, plenty of the rest of us can tune

whats "alot" of engine work

No one here knows how to Tune, we all rely on 10sec and TG

lol true dat, we're all just hacks with rusty screwdrivers
unless its a OBD1 3800 controlled by obd2 hardware

Im boring my block, forged internals, high compression engine, XP cam, innercooled, 3.2 pullie, then possibly down the road some spray

 

[bikrboy128]

sounds like a waste. grab a stock L26 short block then go from there. forged internals are not needed

truth!

unfortunatly thats the sad truth... most dont have the specialty tools to do a good build. i spent over 200$ just on the custom drill bits to do oiling mods not to mention checking tolerances

for 98% of folks out there youll be better off focusing on the heads and external mods, you can get a good L36/26 shortblock for less than 400$
spend that money on good parts like a RM dbl and proper maching for it to fit, etc

 

[nmskull66]

I already put in my order at ZZP so its all comming and im sending my block out tomarrow. So i need someone possibly by sunday to come and tune my car for me or i need to find some place that will tune my car.. Anyone or any info would help

.. well cancel it...



try asking first and savings THOUSANDS before you waste money on a built motor.

3.2 pulley on forged internals... I wouldn't push my luck! that's a lot of boost!

 

[PANDA]

I thought you had a tune, the sticker on the car says so

 

[Handsome Jesus]

well we should all stop pickin on this guy now, he now knows the major tuners on the site.

what sort of stuff did you end up getting? you going genV + IC or? I see the XP cam.

assuming you are going 30 over?

 

[nmskull66]

.20 over, xp cam, IC

and i did have my car tuned for what i was running before i blew it up.. But that tune will not hold up for all this shit

I'm a big fan of the Buying a tuner and doing it yourself, Learn it, ask questions, It makes the build that much more rewarding when you do the work

Seriously, there are a thousand ways to go about it... get a used PT for cheap and start asking questions
