Hey everyone, first off i know this is ford tech, but there is no1 in the gm tech and you guys have a lot of people in here all the time so i figured ill ask.
i have a LT1 in a 85 scottsdale it has slight cam and is mostly stock i believe, it has a holly 650 4bbl on it that i need to get tuned properly and was wondering if any one could point me in the right direction, or would be willing to help me out. a lot of the stuff on the truck is new and it has never been properly tuned.


Thanks for looking, Dax.

What is the question?

If you need it tuned we have a ton of shops that can do that for you.(list is stickied on top of forum) If you want to tune it yourself the reading plugs method works pretty well. If nothing else go buy yourself a wideband 02 and you can do all your own tuning.

You have an LT1 and its carb? Did they make a carb kit setup for that or is it easy to do?

my dad says its a lt1 but i dont think it is. the block is from a 70 vette
its been completly rebuilt.
he got the truck cheap how it sits now. the work had just been finished.
my question as stated above was if any 1 could point me in the right direction for a shop to tune the carb and a/f ration or whatever, i dont know anything about carbs and dont wanna mess with his truck.


edit. i looked it up. it is a lt1 from a vette. stock it has 370 hp

If you know how how to set timing and tune a car .. Any mechanics shop should be able to help you... its a fairly simple issue.

DaxDaxDax

well, i spoke with my dad. he doesnt want me to work on it... cause i took apart the lawn mower and forgot to put a few parts back on before trying to start it... and it blew up.
i looked in the sticky and it just had names of shops, could anyone suggest a shop to tune the motor for him? i mean one that does good work like that fairly inexpensively.(sp?)

thanks for your help guys.

and yes its the kid from the goonies with a scene from scarface with the guy from 300's face on him.
(at least i think its from scarface...)
whatever, it doesnt matter cause i got it from 4chan
