Happy New year - yes steveo, you should definitely do tuning. There are very few tuners who will do Gen 2 LT1s; Brandon Strong in Oklahoma will do them, and a few others, but that's it. There are still good people who will pay for good work; those are the people you want to work with.
I've been sucked up into a new job and the usual family/community involvement. My goal is to finish up the two non-running cars I have at the house, build some 4L60Es for people who have been bugging me for them, and go through some 1992-1996 LT1 engines I have at the house, get them into cars and have fun dynoing them.
Stretch goal is to help Tom H finish his '96-97 LT1 flashing tool and then work with Jim_CT_9C1 to flesh out the XDF for it.
A shop near me has a hub dyno, and I plan to make good use of it this year. Why tuners with high-power cars still use inertial dynamometers still boggles my mind. You need the RPM slew rates low enough that transients don't dominate the data.
