• Monkfish (great friendly service)
• Peter Knight Racing (built a couple of my engines)
• Real Steel do LS engines now (no idea on quality etc)
• Boosted LS1 (a PH'er here)

Decide what you want (in detail) and then get a quote from the people listed as the prices vary alot!

Most of the above actually dont do ecu tuning on GM ECU's

[NorWitch69]

so which ones actually do?
thanks

[ringram]

None

Talk to Mark at Rapid or Paul from Wortec.

[Boosted LS1]

^ Or him. I hear he's very good with GM ecu's and cam specs to.

ETA. OP, I see you're in Norwich, if so make life simple and either use Mark at Rapid GB for the tune or buy Efi Live from Ringram.

Or, you could just buy an Emerald from Dave Walker who's in your back yard and let him map the engine. He's done a few maps for people on here. Guess a lot depends on your car and application.

Real Steel, flipping heck. I thought that by the time they caught on the ls would be obsolete. Still at least their sbc rod shells fit, lol.

Ric Wood in Stockport has experience with aussie V8 racing. He also has CNC kit for porting heads.

Mark at Rapid put me onto Rick Wood in Stockport for headwork as well - around 1500 quid for reworking your stock heads with new valvetrain included depending on exact needs - FI or NA. He apparently is/was running about in a 700bhp+ Holden/HSV of some form or another

Oops I skim-read the OP's post and missed the last and most relevent sentence re ECUs

I was in there a few weeks back filling my n20 bottle and they do appear to be able to supply LS according to Deckland. Whether or not they are someone elses work I do not know but as long as it comes with a four barrel you should be fine

As ever, not strictly true. We offer tuning services as well as a full range of other products. Our tuning is done by Wortec, our suspension by Pedders etc. We sell what we consider to be excellent products. We dont make our own suspension, doesn't mean we dont offer it!

Question is about GM ECU tuning Roger. I stated Paul from Wortec did that.

Not sure what exactly I said was incorrect? Can you explain? Or are you talking about something different like general vehicle tuning?

At that price, I'd sooner buy a pair of aftermarket heads.
