Man I wouldn't let anyone touch my car that hasn't already tuned several. Then again I'm afraid to even drive it after all this.

Is Pwerks that booked up you can't get in?

It will be worth waiting for Pwerks.

A tune is not something you wanna be the guys first car ever...

Telling you man. Book a date with Pwerks.

Just wait. Not saying anything bad about your tuner. But 1000hp cars aren't direct injected, variable cam, LNFs. These are finicky engines.

I could go into more detail but seriously. Take it to the guy who has tuned 100s of LNFs.

i have an LSJ and it's already at the dyno shop probly getting tuned today thanks for your concern though. pwerks doesn't have much LSJ experience anyway

the guy is highly experience with HPT cars
blower cars
e85 cars
all gm ****.

far as i'm concerned the LSJ is just another LS engine haha
