Is it worth it? ..will it make any difference? .... this guy at my job told me he had an LS with basic boltons street tuned and it ran 14.9 at the track.. so i want to get other opinions before i spend the $250

 

It's always good to get your car tuned after modifications. Its a MUST after you change cams/injectors/major engine part's.

What I always say is get all the bolt-ons you want before you tune. bolt-on's wont throw much off until you break into the engine excluding turbo/supercharger, some people will call those "bolt-ons"

that will save you time and money to do it once, but always wait to install cams/injectors the day before you go tune

 

Give us a better idea of your setup.. and we can go from there

 

Currently i have a skunk2 manifold...full exhaust.. DC 4-2-1 with megan racing test pipe and 2.5inch piping.... and a short ram intake...other little things are the msd 6a box with the msd coil, cap rotor and wires...thats about it... i have a block and head that im building on the side but i just want a lil power for now and i want to kno if i can get sum outta street tunin

 

from the list of mods you listed i would just to get the ecu chipped without street tuning. its cheaper and will make a difference wit the mods you have. now when you finish building your setup on the side that when i would dish out for a real tune. but thats just me

 

Are your currently running a chipped engine computer ?

 

no i am currently runin the stock p75 ... but the guy at the performance shop will chip it and street tune it for 250

 

I personally would recommend just having the ecu chipped with a basemap, then having the car tuned once you get some cams or add a turbo etc.

 

^^ Talk to this guy and get a chipped ECU...skip the street tune for now. Also $250 for a street tune is rather spendy

 

250 is kinda pricey if your in south cali area this place called churches is awesome i just spent 325 for a tune stock b18b with just boost and got 231p and 225 trq seans awesome from churches

 

Ok... i decided to just get it chipped... he said i cant use my p75 but i got a p72 that will work ... hopefully it makes a difference..but ill let you guys know

 

tell me how much you are going to push is it regular ls ? " imma chip mine too i got skunk2 manifold fullcat exhaust short ram intake

 

Why can't you use your p75? What year/make/model is your vehicle ?

 

I dont kno why he just said he does not work with those computers.. just p28 and p72.... but he made a chip today for the p72 and the car feels way better than before its pulling real strong...i dont want to blow my head so i wont be takin the car to 8 grand...lol....

 

An obd1 p75 works the same as an obd1 p72 for your non-vtec b18 motor.

 

so that is weird he said he could not use my p75 ecu.. o well ill just keep it as a spare and get it chipped when i finish my ls all motor build

 

I would question the integrity of your basemap if the tuner didn't even know you could chip an obd1 p75.
Obd1 p75 ecus being tunable with any obd1 tuning solution on the market is common knowledge.

 

im also thinking he did it because the p72 was already chipped so it was easier to just replace the chip
