4.10 with a manual. I wouldnt want to go higher than a 3.73 with the automatic - the overdrive isnt as nice as on the T56 in 6th gear.Originally posted by Jay 02 TA ws6

Hmm... if you were on the West Side of the state, I would have recommended Speed, Inc. in Schaumburg, Illinois... if you don't mind a five hour drive I still recommend them. I did a lot of looking around before I went to Chicago to get my work done... there was no specialized LS1 tuner in the Detroit area -- I was shocked. Livernois Speed is probably your best bet if you don't want to drive to Chicago, they do LS1s... but they are Mustang guys first.
There is a new LS1 tuner open in Clio (near Flint) now, but I am yet to hear a single good thing about them.Former Ride: 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 - 345 rwhp, 360 rwtq... stock internally.
