Hey guys, this is my first post. I come here from corvetteforums.com. They are a much smaller site which is good in some cases but not when you need to find someone that can help you out and is close to you.

So, on with the question. I had my 94 LT1 rebuilt over the summer. The person that did it was a less than reputable character and I wasnt aware of this until after the fact. I had the block bored thirty over, new cam, rebuilt heads with 2.02 valves, heads were port/polished, new Hooker short-tube super-comp headers (i shouldve gone long), and 30# injectors, new MAF sensor (granitelli), melling high volume oil pump (i think thats what its called.. haha), and new plugs and wires. I think that is about it. I also had them do some transmission work (automatic) but that is another story.

Well, the guy TOLD me that when the work was done that i should come back at so many miles and have him re-tighten the headers and check the valves to make sure they were ok. He also told me to come back at so many more miles so that he could take it to a Dyno shop to get it tuned and everything. Well he TOLD me that all of that was included, but didnt write it on the receipt and so when i went back he wanted to charge me and i told him that he said it was all included. He then informed me that it was left off of my receipt because it wasnt included when i distinctly remember him saying it was.

So, my perdicament is that i am not going to take the car back to him because i personally dont think he can tell his elbow from his @$$ and i dont want him touching my car ever again. And so i still need the car dynotuned and i was told i could find someone on here that is really good. I live in Virginia Beach, VA. If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!

Sincerely,
Matt

P.S. - I got my car back in August so all of that work was done and i have been riding around in my car for a few thousand miles without the tune. Is there anything that i may have fouled up by doing this? Thanks again!!

 

Oops, just reread your post. Drive down to Saint Louis, and I'll tune it.

 

Hey STL... Thanks for the reply, but I was looking for someone more local, as i am not able to travel much with my work schedule. I also dont have the money to go too far out of state. I do appreciate it though

If anyone lives in Virginia or North Carolina and can tune a car, OR if you can travel here, i would appreciate your help! Thanks


Matt

 

Try posting this thread HERE also. This is the regional section with many member that live close to you that might no someone.

 

Like he said, post in the regional forum. I'd expect that there are plenty of tuners in your area.

 

Thanks guys! I appreciate you directing me to the other page. Maybe I can get some help here.

Matt
