Just curious, is it a 3.4? How much are you paying? What's the condition like?

dont worry about tuning it until you have quite a bit of mods done. but you can always bring it to a dyno shop and get a full map done for about 500 bucks. it will be much better than any mail order tune too

yeah SpecterGT260 is right. Like if you tell the dyno shop ur mods they will tie everything together. They will do a REALLY good job tuning your car

more importantly, they can get your air/fuel ratio and spark advance just right across the whole rpm range and at any throttle amount. knowing ur mods gives them a good starting point, but you can never be dead on with a mail order tune. you cant get it just right without actually strapping the car down and monitoring how it runs

i was told it was a 3.8 but it was a lady so i guess ill have to see for sure, its in really good shape from what i have seen in the pics, shes asking 3500 so i will probably be able to talk her down to around 3 or so, since i will have around 3000 left to play with i plan on driving down to summit racing (an hour from me) and picking up a set of headers, flowmaster american thunder cat back, throttle body spacers. and then im going to order a trans go shift kit and a set of 3.73 gears, and a CAI.i will have to start looking for a dyno shop around me, theres a place who builds some VERY bad stangs about 10 min from i might stop by and see if they could dyno tune a camaro. also when i was looking at shift kits i saw trans go sells a kit that only lets the car shift when you shift it, similar to a manual trans just no-clutch. anyone have experiance with this? sounded odd to me i had never heard of a kit like that. other than the mods listed any more you guys would reccomend??
