    new texan newbie tuner

    i am 18 years old from south texas, and i want to become a tuner in the future, if not just tune my car good enough lol
    i own a 96z28, with t-tops, 17 and 18 inch corvette y2k rims, and modded with a cold air intake and exhaust cut out
    i ended up buying a 94z pcm and modding it with the resistor (so i wont have to change knock sensor) and it seems to work very well
    the car is pretty quick for being an lt1, especially an iron headed small cam lt1
    if you guys have any questions or anything to say, send me a pm or shoot me an email at jorgecjnl@sbcglobal.net
    thanks guys

    haha yeah it has its ups and downs, but i love this car, i always wanted a camaro and i finally ended up buying and fixing it over the past year
    and it didnt do bad at the track either, my lowest run was 12.905 at 97.57mph, which isnt bad for an almost stock lt1
    i just want to add some headers over the summer and see if with a good tune i can lower it to about 13.5, if so ill be in "ls1 territory" lol

    Well if you were doing a 12.9 and your goal is 13.5 that can be arranged real easy! Or you've got a lot to learn...

    I figured something was wrong, your young just had to make sure you passed math...
