So I've joined the ebl P4 guys but I want it tuned yesterday. Anyone know of a spot locally that can tune it with tunerpro so I can still data log when I spray this beast?

I don't think there is anybody left that can tune these locally as far as shops. AZTPI was the last one that I know of that did this and they closed a few years ago.

More often than not it's not that they can't, it's that they won't. Older cars have so many mechanical issues that tuners end up playing mechanic more than tuner. Plus when they can tune a new computer and flash it quickly and not need a reminder how to do it they can do more and earn more.

This is much more evident in LT1s since its flash based (well almost all) and require a cable only, and many still won't touch them.

Best bet is find a local tuner and pay them to come to your dyno. Or learn to do it yourself and do an even better road tune. Watching load and airflow you can easily see where optimal power is and tune for it without a dyno.

I need the tune to be perfect and I don't want to spend months getting it spot on. I just done have the time or patience for that. It has to be right before I spray the beast. I want to tune it on the bottle and to do it right, I think it needs to be on a dyno. I am not trying to melt it down.

Why does a road tune take months and a dyno doesn't?

I would hope a guy that does dyno tunes can figure it out in an afternoon vs a guy who has no idea what he's doing.

The same tuner can do a road tune.

The difference between a dyno and road is that a road tune never needs to be finished on a dyno. Where as a dyno tune may need tweaking on the road for multiple reasons.

It's your choice obviously, just saying a dyno tune isn't the end all be all its made out to be. I think it's a headache when you can't log the run or the dyno can't even measure torque due to electrical interference but that's just me.

Lopers on 9st indian school can do your dyno tune.

but I like road tuning (ls engines) do to the time I can take to get it adjusted
