mail order tune for STS kit

i need a tune for my car after the STS is on. biggest problem is no one in my area tunes lt1's. i was wondering if a mail order tune would be good for a base till i find someone to dyno tune it.

I can help with base tunes for STS. They will get you by fine until you dyno tune it.

Nope, not a problem. You can do it all at the same time.

Re: mail order tune for STS kit

If your car is still OBD2 then you can't do unlimited email tuning unless you buy lt1_edit. If you converted to OBD1, then you can get a cable from www.akmcables.com

how much???? i think it would eb smart to upgrade to 42lbs injectors. i pretty much need it to be safe to drive from were it is now, to the dyno or other shop if needed. then ill get software and fine tune it

Re: mail order tune for STS kit

If you mailed the computer to me for an update, it's $63 shipped back to you.

lt1_edit is $450
and tunercat is $390 I think.
