    Like others have said id get a tuner and a wideband and try to learn. If you can do a build on a car you can tune a car. Just remember tuning is not a one time thing, and tuning does not fix all problems. The car has to be 100% before you can get the most from a tune. If you must have a shop dyno tune the car ZZP is probably the closest and only place.

    Here's the thing, your build isn't something astronomical, it's an xp cam. It'll screw up the tune a bit, but will not make it to the point where the car isn't driveable. The fuel trims will take care of keeping the car where it needs to be, you just have to keep your foot off the throttle. And ZZP isn't the first place i would recommend getting a tune, I would go to PRJ before I let zzp start dicking around with my shit. Get hpt, i'll help you via email if you send me scans and a bin for 1/2 the $, and you can learn and take over from there.

    ok man we get it you want an awesome build, and im getting the idea you have the $ for the parts, if not the time for the research.
    we all started this shit as a noob, maybe youll learn some good habits unlike most at "schools" (sorry dude my years of experice have taught me to take wrenches away from 98% of em)

    you or pete can reach me if you have ANY question, i can walk you through the RM modifications/etc youll need to make sure it'll last and youll have minimal issues...then you can enjoy the stock 65ehd "pucker factor" behind the wonderful 231 pah and that awesome 3800 blatt

    LOL ill post up a video and picture later today. But heres what happened..

    Got everything put together motor in, noticed one side of my motor mount was like exploded.. There was one issue. Another one was my battery, I had it sitting on the cement floor in my freezing garage ( wasnt going to waste $$$ and leave the heat on while i wasnt there) and it like fucked up. Got my buddy to let me use his battery connected everything and go to start it (me being so happy/nervous/excited) to hear it see it run, turn the key.. NOTHING.. No crank no anything i was like FUCKKKKKK so we thought it was the starter took it out bench tested it, nothing.. took it to autozone and they tested it said it was fine. Put it back on the car still nothing moved the battery wire around and saw sparks.. the ground wasnt connected to the block.. Fixed that fuckup, started it and :jg: it started!! Sounded like a fucking aminal!! However the lifters i got from comp cam, the OER tick like a fucking bitch and still havent gone away..

    I got a small tune from 10sec yesterday (who btw knows his shit and is an awesome guy) and because my lifters tick so fucking much and loud my knock sensors pick it up around 2200 rpm and knock shoots right up to 14.9 and the car runs like shit.

    Lets see... i ordered my big order from zzp hmmm.. about 4 1/2 weeks ago and they still havent sent me the fucking fuel rails for my innercooler. They keep telling me oh yeah one more week.. so 10sec showed me how to mod mine so either today or tomarrow im just going to finish everything i need to.

    Whats left to do: Need to switch back to stock lifters, and pushrods (If anyone has any low mile stockers and wants to get rid of them PM me with a price) then i need to put on the innercooler plate, mod my fuel rails, fix 2 of my ARP head studs that are dripping coolant because we didnt use enough pipe dope just the ARP shit. Then HOPEFULLY i wont have to cut my hood to fit this thing. But this is the progress as of this point..

    Pics and videos will be up later...

    One more thing if anyone knows someone selling like 66lb injectors (heard someone was on clubgp, anyone have a link?) because 10sec said i should run E85 and need those.

    Im prolly going to be selling my brand new 70 miles on them 42.5 lb injectors, intense racing oil-restricted pushrods, comp cam OER lifters.. If anyone wants something let me know and i have a whole shit load of stock head,rocker,and main bolts if anyone needs them.
