    Ok guys i been trying to get a hold of ZZP for a week the emails get returned and i have called twice, nobody has called me back.So i have decided to go elsewhere for my PCM tuning. I talked to Ryan at Sinister and he has emailed me back several times and went out of his way to help me.He is someone who will get my money i was just wondering if anybody has had any work done by them.I will let you all know how it goes but the prices are better and customer service miles better.I am not advertising for him but anybody needing a tune should check out his site.O ya and thanks to you guys and him i am using a 3.5 pulley lol.

    Yeah glad i could help Ryan emailed me 3 times today with the do's and dont's he impressed me.You could tell that he cares about what he is doing and is the type to give you the best advice if it involves his products or not.The other big dog tuner companies either didnt get back with me or make it way too hard to get a hold of someone.Ryan is someone you could likely get a hold of on the weekend or after hours to help you out if need be,not that i need him to be or expect it but i know damn well the others wont not when they wont in the normal 9-5.You will likely be tuned before me and you have more mods so let me know how it goes. You are what into the low 13's ??

    whats your KR like you are way more modded than me but i wanted to try a 3.4 but i am scared now lol.I will add headers later and a intense cam.Did you do all the mods at once or add the 3.4 right away? Should i try the 3.4 ??

    I first did headers and really like it, I then bought a parts car with a 3.4 pulley on the sc so i ported it out and threw it on my car and bought a zzp 1.0 pcm and had a ton of KR so i put my stock pcm back in and only had 1* or so of KR. Then I bought the modded 1.9's and threw them in with the zzp tune and that's how i'm running it now. What all mods do you have?

    None as of yet its a project car, bought with rod knock.Bought engine a couple weeks ago i am working on getting the parts for full tune up first. Plugs, wires, pvc ,elbows ,hoses,thermostat (180) etc etc.I bought it all at rock auto witha TB gasket all kinds of things all damn good prices even things i didnt need radiator cap, oil filter,Spring for trans mod, wire ties (always need them) wire sleeves to put on new plug wires, i even got a fuel filter for my 83 Buick 70.00 shipped i couldnt believe it.Anyway have parts to make CAI, working on the headers as i write this.If i get a deal on the headers i found a intense cam i may get.I wanted to run a 3.4 but Ryan said 3.5, stock engine all bolt ons may port the blower and LIM later things like that.Have Sinister(Ryan)tune my PCM and see what the KR is like,going to do all the little free mods and semi free i can like dynomat on trans and TB gasket etc etc .Curious to see how you like your tune but i dont doubt the man after talking with him as much as i did.ZZP did call me back a couple times a week too late.Seems like your car would run pretty damn good with the mods youve done.I know where there is a intense cam 1sx i think whatever the first one is.You should buy it and give me a deal on your rockers so i dont have to pull the intake right now lol.

    I have an s1x laying in the garage. I'm picking up a parts car hopefully wed with a rod knock and am using the heads off it to p&p and putting the cam in my short block i have in the garage. I'll sell off my rockers whenever I get around to swapping motors.

    Really i been wanting to get something like that but still researching, jet has software for 375.00 i think you can tune 4 cars.How did you get it free ? I will probably send my PCM to Ryan next week maybe.I still need a pulley and a couple odds and ends.

    Wow thats great i am glad for you.I am still working on the last few pieces for my install,its been 100 degrees here except today for the last week.I imagine you have seen this but there is a bunch of tuning info on it injector pulse width and all that.You know it would be nice to take your car to the track and do a before and after tune or maybe one of those apps that tell you the HP.Be kinda curious what you are able to pick up, i guess it would depend on how far its out of tune.Sounds like you have a new toy i am jealous.
