ok i broke my driveshaft (so 2 weeks ago) but have some oil leaks and a rigged fuel pump location blah blah blah… and petes like just f\*ck’n sell it … but thats not happening im making this thing worth it… and fixing my oil pan leak and back intake oil leak new paint in spring fixing the fuel pump situation …and gonna make a custom version of the STS turbo system yes this will happen and after seeing synapse weld shoot me im having them do it and im gonna have a air to air inter cooler SO i was wondering if anyone knew of a good DOMESTIC tuner i WAS gonna have kevin from extreme automotive in troy do it but hell he takes a year to find a fuel fitting… (exageration but you get what im saying) so im gonna actually have North East High Performance in clifton park do the tuning! any suggestions ---

I hope you plan on building that bottom end…LT1 bottom ends are weak as shit and grenade to all hell around 475hp under boost… just throw a 175 shot on it and call it a day. If you boost it, your gonna blow it the fuck up. ---

If you boost it, your gonna blow it the fuck up. the torque produced from nitrous, especially a uge hit like that, will do just as much damage, if not more if its not tuned correctly. ---

I dont know from personal experience but I have read this over and over on ls1tech from people with personal experience. ---

> [@Mk4 30R](#): > > what do you think nitrous does? nitrous increases cylinder pressure, and cools it as well… Correct, but N2O is more efficent. 100hp shot of N2O = ~3-5psi of intake pressure. To make any kind of power with a blower/turbo, you’re gonna need more pressure than that to make an extra 100hp. Also, like you said, N2O cools as well. I know if I spray a 75 shot on my car, my intake manifold pressure goes from 22psi up to 27psi… Wait, what? :ninja :giggedy ---

i would not get it tuned ANYWHERE in this area, im not saying redline is bad but howard usually doesnt tune lt1’s. Theres places like eastside performance in conn. new era performance in rochester, theres a place in Jersey that tunes lt1s. Or you could go with pcm4less which is mail order tune, a lot of these people wont be able to give you a proper tune for your lt1 ---
