For sure, I'm paying for the knowledge and this guy is good at what he does.

That's a fair price. I paid $450 for the Camaros street tune followed by 3 dyno pulls with further adjustments from a reputable LS tuner shop. 407hprw 
If I make 300rwhp I'll be thrilled.
that's definitely fair market price for a good tuner.
Worth every dollar too.

The LQ4 in the race car made 315 on a kind of hot tune with the PacFab ultra4 cam package. This was on 37" tires.
We had them get a bit more conservitive because he didn't know how it would hold up to 110 degree Nevada heat with your foot shoved through the floor board in heavy silt for Extended periods of time. We ran one stretch of the Vegas to Reno course in 2nd gear full throttle in a silt bed for 20 min or more. Big radiator and trans cooling paid off that day as we passed several fast guys in that section that were having cooling issues and we didn't
I think we settled at about 285 RWHP on the 37's
I want a safe tune as well, no reason to turn it up and risk blowing it for 20 horse
mind me asking tuners name I think I know who your talking about. If he is same guy that has done some tuning for lateral-g members and pro-touring.com He is good and worth it.
NicD is who he goes by pretty well known.
No updates today, the junkyard goofed us over on the rear axle and wasted 2 hours of Shawns time, sorry again Shawn. Meanwhile I went on a mini vacation to san Diego for 3 days. It was to cheap to pass up free sea world tickets and beach time. Once this thing is a roller I'll be going hard to get it driving. Figured I should make the lady happy before I spend every weekend over.

Lame.
What were you doing at the junkyard looking for an axle?

I think he was looking for a late model 14 bolt with the factory disc brakes.
Yes I found a aam 10.5 out of a 07 for 200.
Nice find!
Try to keep this one from being stolen, ok?
(I'm confident that was already your plan, but I just wanna make sure)

Lol for sure, no one is taking it! It will be locked up in the garage.
The goal is to have this thing sent off to the dyno in one month.

Sense I had to accomplish something this weekend I decided to get this going.
I guess the classic dash harness wasn't good enough for me.
I got water tight connectors, heat shrink and expanded sleeving. It isn't done yet but that is a preview.

Do you plan to have it running for the dyno testing?
I mean...carry on. You're doing a great job, and I think you'll be able to make that goal at the rate you're going.
I'm going to look at my work schedule in a bit and see my weekends off and go from there.
Oh Lord please help me. Dyno tune is set for May 23rd and I bet it's in the dirt the 24th and the 25th.
Wow sooo you have 1 month to finish the front suspension, prep and install the rear axle, plumb up all your brakes, install the rest of the drivetrain, hope the driveshafts still fit, install the new fuel system, finish all the wiring, put the front clip back on, cooling system, test fire/run the engine, and fix any problems or bugs along the way.
Did I miss anything???
Ben you are awfully ambitious, but sorry I just don't see it
