    I wouldn't trust a box tune with a cam because you can have identical setups and still get different results engine/performance wise.

    Not really. Paying what you would pay for a 2 box tunes (one now, one when you mod again) is going to run you the same if not more than used HPT with credits. Plus being able to change with climate changes is also good.

    Last I heard Overkill wasn't responding to messages. ZZP's tunes have popped a few motors. Let's support a site vendor and inform him of Reptiles tunes, which I've never heard a negative word about. If I were to ever order a box tune, it would be from Reptile.

    It would behoove you to look into paying a tuner to set your car up; you've already gone through the trouble of camming the car, why get sloppy on the details?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    not trying too, i have to wait untill the guy who tuned my car last time is available. there is not alot of experinaced tuners in my area for the L67, im just guessing, but i pretty sure on this one since there are hardly any modded gtps up here. and there are not many memebers from the area on just about any site lol.

    Did he put a lock on the tune? That would make him a jerk.

    Any professional tuner can tune your car.

    If you can't get a custom tune, this is the next best thing.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.

    Just for the record, Will from Overkill just got back from vacation on the 9th I believe. That info is on the site, he had a discount going for orders while he was away.

    I would go with Overkill. I was happy with mine and Gibby didn't have any issues with it, if that's who you're talking about.
