well my 1st question is where did you ship it to and what are they gonna do to it? also make sure you dyno a week after to make sure the settings are still good and the numbers are good, well i think if you can afford it you should dyno now to get a baseline then dyno afterwards to make sure you didnt get ripped off but i guess you cant do that since your ecu was already shipped lol

he will have it shipped back to me the same day he gets it. so as long as it takes to get there two days to get back. only one stage you send a list of your mods.

GM raised it that high in the 300+hp build article at http://www.gmperformancedivision.com...tec_Part_4.pdf , check dyno graph at end. And this should only be done after redoing the complete valve train.

PS do they have a web site or at least what is their number?

actually go to forums, then chose which forum you want to post in, and there will be a new thread button.
