i think standard price for good dino is in the 600 range. solomon is very good. thats the link tig gave

 

ok. i know i have a lot of questions and i dont wanna sound dumb but sometimes you have to to learn anything.

so if i get my pcm tuned by the guy in the link how do i know that it is going to be a better tune and not a tune that is just one for any other car? i just wanna make sure i am getting whats best and most cost effecient. wouldnt the tune need to be tested a few times and played with to get the most out of it? or am i just reaching up into expensive territory?

i really appreciate all the info you guys are giving me. i am just trying to get this right and for the lowest cost without being too cheap.

 

you need to go do some reading on his site. the tune is not picked from a data base but is talored to your setup. also can get free fine tune after you provide a data log. can also go with the self tune and he will send you cables and such and he emails you tune, you then can do data log and retune. shoot a email to him, very nice guy.

 

All you have is minor bolt-ons, the tune has been done for 20 years and can be done by most tuners with their eyes shut. Install the tune ,dyno the car with A/f ratio and correct if needed. I have like 9 years on my mail order bolt-on tune. You can install 1.6's without new pushrods as long as no work has been done on the heads. I run 1.7's with the stock length with no issues. New springs are recommended however.

 

yep you can do it right or not, may work, may not.

 

thanks for the good info crabby. and thanks for the link tig.

i am pretty sure i am going to have the tune done through the link once i get the money i know its not a lot but i gotta scrounge sometimes.

and i'm not gonna change my rocker arms without getting new pushrods and new valve springs. i wanna do it right. and if i'm gonna do that i might as well throw in a cam while i am at it but this is way down the road for me.

thanks again for the info and the links guys it is really appreciated.

 

you don't send out the pcm. You connect a cable, log data and later a tune is emailed to you and you flash the computer using the cable and a laptop

and you don't have a boosted car or spraying and trying to run pump gas and need an exact tune. you will be more than fine using Solomon

 

not to tough to measure to see where your contact point is with stock rods. https://camaroforums.com/forum/93-02...-length-51829/

 

well i emailed solomon to get the ball rolling on the tune hopefully i hear back soon and can get this done as quick as i can.

 

I bought the adjustable pushrod, checked my length and still ended up with 7.2". I don't know anyone who changed the length for a simple rocker swap.
