"Mail order tunes"
I live in Fairbanks Alaska... AKA, the middle of F*cking no where.
On my previously "Highly modified" cars.... (600hp 07 STi, 500hp+ SRT4's, 700hp+ Nitrous V8 Chevy Luv), I became very accustomed to "mail order tunes"...
A process where I had a wideband/s, data logged "spirited" pulls and emailed back and forth between a highly reputable tuner.
Recently I have found myself the owner of a P1-SC Supercharged 2006 Z06....(mod list to follow).... OH MY LORD what a great car.
I want to continue the modification path of this car, but I want a tuner that is willing & able to advise me of an upgrade path, and support me with the tunes to keep her reliable and fast.
YES, I know the holy trinity of "Fast, Reliable and Cheap, pick any 2"
I have the technical know-how to do the mods myself, and enjoy hours... days... weeks of tinkering in my shop on my car.
My question this forum is;
Who's out there that has the time and the know how to support me?
Previously I have allied myself with a smaller shops, with the time & passion to dedicate to my questions... and then advise me on what should be done next.
YES I work on my own car....
I'm currently sticking the LG Motorsports Drag Spindles and 15" Weld Wheels + ET Street DR's for DD'n on the car.
My Mods list;
Procharger P1-SC H.O. Kit
Nick Williams 102mm Throttle Body
F.A.S.T. 102mm Intake
F.A.S.T. Fuel Rails
LG Motorsports Carbon Fiber Intake
LG Motorsports 1 7/8" Superpro Long Tube Headers & X Pipe
LG Motorsports 160* T-Stat
LG Motorsports G7X3 Camshaft
Comp 921 Dual Valve Springs
Hardened Push Rods
Titanium Retainers
Heavy Duty Timing Chain
Cats Removed
Corsa Sport Cat Back Exhaust (3 Inch)
ARP Headstuds
MSD Wires
NGK Tr7ix Spark Plugs
ZR1 Clutch
I'm not your typical Corvette owner
I'm looking for a shop/person to help me make my car better, I'm looking for a shop/person to be HONEST with me, laugh at my dumbass questions, tell me what SHOULD be done, what is usually done, and what can be left alone.
Who's up to the challenge?
