What's my setup good for?
Hey guys, just wondering what I could expect out of my setup. I know a lot of it has to do with tuning, conditions, etc. but a ball park range would be nice. I have a 99 LS block that's being treated to CP Pistons and EF-1 Rods. About how much will I be able to boost on that with some good tuning? I'm not looking to go crazy, I'd honestly be happy with 10psi, but it would be nice to know about how much this setup could handle.
What tuning method would you recommend? I'm leaning towards Hondata because it's good and affordable. Which Hondata would you go with? Right now, all I have is SAFC/DSM injectors/chipped ECU (retards 1 degree of timing/psi). It's worked fine on my B20 @ 6psi (see sig for #'s). I figure I will use this in the beginning and run 6psi, but I'd like some tuning for 8+
The rest of the motor is basically stock except for EF-1 L28 cams, Skunk2 cam gears, and Skunk2 intake manifold.
One more question, are there any decent tuners around here? I'm from NY but don't mind traveling to NJ/CT/PA/MA (any surrounding areas) for some good tuning.
Sorry about the long post, it's getting closer, and I'm getting anxious to know how my setup will perform

hondata is the way to go.
Yes, you can make tons of power on stock sleeves it's just that your tuner will have to do a good job on your car.
The only way to find out what your setup can handle is to goto the dyno and try it because every motor is different.

You guys have a dyno at RPM don't you? If not, do you know of any good tuners in the area?
