Looking for a victim...or volunteer for a magazine article I'm working on.

I am looking for the following:

1. older chevy with a EFI LS motor

2. It has to be currently using - or would be willing to get a mail order tune in the system.

3. Car has to be road ready (for drivability testing)

4. Willing to bring the car to the Chicago area on AUGUST 6 for a free live dyno tune.

Car will be featured in the article and will get the free tune - owner will have to cover the expense of transport - etc.

Anybody interested?

How about a 71 Nova with a single turbo 6.0, 4L80E, and E85? Its running a mail order tune now patiently awaiting a dyno tune.

LS1Nova won't match up well with this so...let me know what you have.

The car needs to currently be running on a mail order tune (not just a start up tune, but one that has been matched with the intention of being complete)

Needs to be a classic Chevy with a LS

Needs to be decent looking (for the photographs)

Needs to be able to be present on Aug 6 in the Chicago area to be thrashed on the dyno and some drivability testing.

Car has to be transported, etc, at owner's expense - dyno is free

Ended up using my car.

The article is now out.

You can view it on-line at www.chevyenthusiast.com

(December issue).

It was a blast, and Jim made the car purr like a kitten. I was surprised to see how much was left on the table in terms of drivability from the mail order to custom order tune. ...Oh, and this time we didn't explode the drive shaft!
