Yeah, that's what my thought process was.

Do you have a list of all the mods you've got done/numbers you put down? I've always been curious what you've got under that hood...you're so secretive about it.

I'm running a stock 180 and it get's hot in AZ (110 IS THE AVERAGE) and I don't have any overheating issues at all. If I would have remembered about that when I did my tune I would have went with a 160 also but that slipped my mind. Don't let Alih fool you. He's running a V-TIC in his Camaro!! haha!

RUNNER its funny you say that, now gonna tell you a story :P

last year at one of our local club meets i was talking to my buddy bs'n him all night long.He has a stock 96 LT1 but he also bracket races with it.And all night long i was tellin him that i swapped in a 4 cylinder vtec in cause the gas was so high(back then it was above $4 for premium).And by the end of the night he believed me, well until i fired her up, i guess by the lope of the cam he didnt believe me.So we go to leave, it was me,him, and another friend of mine that had a 97 RS Camaro with the 3.8 .Well we go to leave and we lined up at the light and he heard me get on it, so he got on it,well by the time it was over i was nowhere to be seen, i was going a buck ten down a street,and now that i admit it, it really wasnt the smartest thing to do.Well my friend in the 3.8 catches up with my other buddy and was like "where did ali go?' and my other buddy goes "i dont know i couldnt even see his tail lights anymore!"


since we both have 93s, it would be a good choice to go to pcmforless.com when you get it tuned, since we dont have computers like the other years, we have to get a chip burned for our computer, and you dont have to send your whole computer in, just go to the website, tell them everything you have done to the car and in about a week you will have your new chip.

Mhm. lloyd suggested PCMforless. Apparently he works with them often enough that I'll get better results from them than most dyno tunes! That makes me happy, since the places I've checked out want 500-600+ for a tune.

But that's one good and/or bad point of our blacksheep '93s, amirite?! :]

indeed, i always thought it sucked, we dont have as many parts available for our cars, but the tuning is sure a good point for us

PCMforless is the bomb!!! Can't go wrong with them but a little advice when you place your order. Tell them everything in detail! Even though they've done 10 million LT1's it's always a good Idea to leave no guesswork like, uh, not telling them about a certain LT1 wanting to run a 160 thermostat. Alih this guy really thought you had a V-TIC in your car?!? Hahahahaha!!!!

Alih: I like how we can tell people we have performance chips for our cars...and it's actually potentially true! :P

RUNNNER: I know. I'm gonna have every little bit of info I can get ready for them when I give 'em the call this summer!

Cool.

So what are your plans? I thought you were gonna sell the Edelbrock stuff and go for something with a bit more potential?
