Sub pump? A sump pump for pump water way from a house?

On wednesday I'm going to Woodbridge to watch john tune my car. Anyone want to go? John told me right off that I'm going to be 30rwhp short of my goal (500 Flywheel) because my exhaust goes from 3 inch to 2.5 into the cat and back out to 3 inch.

Must be nice
To be able to tune your car. I don't think anyone in the local area has the capability to tune an LS-2 at the present time.

John should be able to tune it. C6s are still ODBII right?? or are they ODBIII now?
He uses some advanced tuning software. He should be able to get an update to do LS2.

Listen to what John says about the exhaust, and especially the section from just behind the headers into the tunnel. I got a full 3" from Robert's because of what John said.

He said he would start dyno the car late in the day wednesday. Late afternoon 4pmish or later... Depends when his helper gets there.
Who is this Robert guy? John Mentioned him. John said I should take my car there to get 3inch all the way back. Where is his shop located???

While we're on the topic of modification... I unintentionally modified my 'vette at the very end of october last year and it's still not quite right. I am thinking I need to get it on a dyno to find out what is making the set of weird noises. They're hard to hear over wind, but not hard to hear over the engine.
Does anyone have a good shop with a dyno that won't charge me an arm and a leg to check the problem?

I want to run it on a dyno so I can pinpoint what's creating the noises at 30, 45, and 70 miles / hour.
