straight line performance dyno tune?
I heard that straight line performance in new lenox has the equipment to tune are cars "OBD1". Has anyone from the Chicago land area ever had there car dyno tuned by them? If so how good of a job did they do?

Re: straight line performance dyno tune?
tuner mike does a good job, but the ls1 computer swap seems to be very popular if you could figure out how to do that it would be beneficial.

Re: straight line performance dyno tune?
no idea. but as for staying with the obd I stuff, they do good work on ls1 cars, so I'd imagine a good job would be done on yours as well.

Running a SBC with the LS1 computer. Cost is around $1000 without tuning software.

Re: straight line performance dyno tune?
There is a fairly large and well written thread on these boards about it. I dont' remember the link, but it shouldn't be that hard to discover it.
