It sounds pretty good and is pretty fast, I was looking into getting a e85 tune with 80lb injectors. So if I take it to a tuner can they put the injectors on there so then they can tune it right then and there and what is everyone’s thoughts with me getting it. My goal is 350hp but idk what else to do to it.
So any and all advice or thoughts on what next would be greatly appreciate as I am super happy to finally join this group.
No easy way to say this, but the M62 on a 2.8 pulley is not going to get you 350whp without nitrous. You'll probably be around 280-310whp with the 2.8 and the mods you listed above, add nitrous and you should be able to hit your goal or a TVS1320. Although if my memory serves me right right around the 350whp range is when you need to replace pistons and rods.
The LSJ also responds really well to a ported head and valve springs so you can rev it out.
I was getting ready to ask what blower is on the car. An M62 with a 2.8 will make ~17.5 psi... so I'd have to assume you're running the TVS.
Swapping injectors is super simple. It can be done in 5-10 minutes on these cars. So yeah, I would do that right before getting the car tuned.
Who is tuning you and/or who have you been talking with? Category V Port Worx is in Tipp City, iirc. He's a long time member and if I was going to have anyone work or my car, it would be him. https://www.facebook.com/categoryvportworx/
