In 2000, I special ordered a 2001 ZO6. The car stayed stock for 2 weeks, then TPIS headers and a Blackwing air filter were added. Then a 234/228/.575 SLP/COMP cam. I started tuning with LS1 Edit, then bought the tunershop version of HP Tuners. The car made 404 rwhp on a dyno jet. I also have Tuner Cat software for the 1996-2000 Vortec Trucks, and the 1996-1997 LT1/LT4.
I've been tuning customer's vehicles for a couple of years now. Plus we do all types of mechanical repairs and maintenance.

Still make it out, once in a while. I mostly do overseas construction work (welding). Spent this summer in Afghanistan. Was at Maple Grove last weekend to catch up on my visiting.

BOTH cars HP Tuners Tuned
I'm a RF Tester at Lucent Technologies, I build and test Cell Phone Systems for Verizon, Sprint, Cingular, Alltel, Metro PCS, Etc.
I have a 2 year Electronics Engineering Degree.
I have been playing around with cars since I bought my 2001 SS. Started out with LS1 Edit and then switched to HP Tuners over time. I do some tuning on the side, but not so much anymore since a lot of people are getting into tuning.
Other things I like to do is play around with home and car stereos, electronics, fishing, shooting guns, spend hours online reading about tuning LS1's

Might as well make my first post an introduction. I'm a mechanical engineer at Caterpillar in the engine development world. Picked up HPTuners to tune on the GTO, hey an LS1 can't be much harder than a C15.....
Strange coincidence, a buddy bought an 02 Duramax today on eBay and asked me, "does that tuning software of yours do diesels?" and Later that night the new stuff is out, time for some fun!
Rin,
You can probably give some of us Diesel noobs some help...
