[94svtcobra]

Think this is a popular question.
The three I hear on here in a random order,
SGS
Lasota
Street Lethal<~~`Can only do mail(email) order tunes on older stuff I believe.

where are those located?

I would buy a new ecm before wasting any $$ on a custom tune. You should be fine with the mods you have..

[Martin0660]

Please don't take this the wrong way, but if your "mod" list in your signature is what you have, I doubt it's a tune issue beside possibly a bad / dirty MAF. Have you pulled codes on it, checked the basics (fuel pressure, FPR leaking on intake side, etc)? If the ECM is "screwed up" it typically won't throw any codes. I would love to have 10% of every computer installed because some knuckle dragging shop though the "computer was screwed up". These things do have diagnostics built in to at least some extent.

I havent pulled the codes on it, the shop I take it to is pretty good, they checked just about everything and they said the only thing that was wrong was at idle its fine, but when they accelerate even slightly the Something with the fuel jumps through the roof, I forget wat they called it, but they said it should be on the closed loop system by the time the car warms and all the sensors are reading everything. But when they accelerate the cars computer goes back to the open loop system

does anyone know where these shops are?

does anyone know where these shops are?

you could probably just look it up.

I know street lethal is in Erie (or very close by)

SGS is out by Carlisle.

Do you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator? If you have checked your timing and for a dirty MAF sensor and they check out ok and you feel it is still a fuel issue, you might be able to to fix it without a dyno tune. Big Shot dyno is 90 minutes away and for $75 you get 3 pulls and can tweak the fuel pressure between runs. My car was too rich when I brought it there last Saturday. After 3 runs we had the fuel pressure dialed in and I picked up 12 rwhp.

I will also mention that you can buy a code puller device at Advance for like $15. Best money I ever spent. It pulls the codes and will do a cylinder by cylinder diagnostic as well.

thanks for the heads up, might try that before gettin a whole tune

[GOT SVT]

you can probably talk to big shot tomorrow, as they are one of the sponsors of the summit show. ask for keith.

[94svtcobra]

ok will do

Found another one... I haven't been there, so I can't vouch for anything.

Sarver Automotive & Performance
724-353-1000
315 Sarver Road, Sarver PA 16055

Looks like they have a Dynojet chassis dyno.

Sarver is up Route 28, exit 17, to Route 356 W/N (towards Lernerville Speedway)
