Engine block is ready for p/u and I am about to embark on a complete rebuild. I know after the rebuild I will need a custom tune but I am not sure if a simple tuner like the Diablo Predator or SCT X2/X3 to change the stock computer is what I can get away with or if I need to go to a speed shop and get a new chip to get the most out of my modifications.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. The following are a list of Mods I will have completed after the rebuild:
.030 Bore
Forged Rods, Pistons (9cc) (should yield 10.5-11.0:1 compression)
High Flow Water/Oil pumps
PI Head swap with Multi-Angle Valve Job
Stage II cams
BBK Shorty Headers
Mac ProChamber
Flowmaster Catback
U/D Pulleys
Timing Adjustor (might eliminate with custom tune)
Think that is the extent of the mods this round.
So custom speed shop tune and new chip or handheld programmer?
