im looking for a dyno shop that will tune my carbed LT4...like show up and drive it on the rollers and have them change jets pump cams whatever the carb needed for near perfect WOT performance..
im in Westland for a shop in SE would be preferred

Thanks guys

 

APE will tune carbureted cars. Give them a call.

 

I tried to get mine done and could not find anyone who knew enough about carbs to do it. I think all of those guys are dead now. It is just like trying to find an actual mechanic, and not a parts changer. Not many "mechanics" can actually troubleshoot a carbed car anymore because the computer cannot tell them what part to change. Good luck, and if you find someowne who is proficient please post the name and number, there are many people out there that need this service.

 

were are they located?...whats there number..im in mooresville NC right now

thanks bud

 

We have plenty of experience tuning carbed vehicles. In fact we just had a vehicle on the dyno last week that we picked up 50rwhp on motor alone.

Our number is in my sig.

 

tuning a carb car is easier in a way alot less things to deal with. but its harder because its still a variable. it varries from time to time. and what not. a computer controlled car is basically just tune and good to go hardly need to retune. a carb u can spend alot of time tuning it right. compared to a program that does it for you. Im going to tune mine while i brake in the cam basicaly set the idle and everything. then once i get it broke in. and get a couple hundred on the clock. im going to street tune it. basically use my *** dyno(gotta recalibrate it) and tune it at the track and on the road. for optimal use. for exact real road conditions.

 

I have heard that AC Tire up in Waterford has some experience tuing carbs. The guy who owns the place is an NMCA racer or something, seems to know his ****.

Is Livernois still the place to go for a carb tune, on a 455 pontiac?

How an LS1? Ideally I'd like to have one shop tune both of my cars.

Thanks

 

You should look into investing in an LM1 Wideband Oxygen Sensor. Install an O2 bung in your exhaust (can be plugged when not tuning) and plug the controller into your 12v cig. lighter. Then, you could tune it yourself. It might be worth it so you could adjust for the changes in weather that we frequently see in this region. Also, I have an extra LMA-2 RPM converter (never used) that I could sell you that will work with the LM1, which would let you log RPM with AFR too.

The company that makes this stuff is Innovate Motorsports. One of the site sponsors here might stock their products.
