I'm so pumped for this thing to come!!! I ordered the 2.1L Intercooled @ 9psi. I also got the big tube kit, 90mm MAF, and a switch chip to go along with it. After talking to Matt he said they would do the best they could to tune the chip because I have LTs, but he recommended getting it dynoed for a better tune. Hopefully I can run the un-dynoed chip for a while without many problems. I'll definitely update when I get this thing on my car!

CONGRATS!! I may be pulling the KB trigger this week too as well.
However....it sounds like you're going to try to run it for a while without a dyno tune....being that you have LTs I think its really worth the 100-200 bucks to throw it on a dyno/wideband and see where the A/F is. Would hate to ruin that awesome project cuz you wanted to save a few hundred bucks and instead you're left with a broken connecting rod and a hole in your block.

You doing the install?
My local shop wants $450 for a dyno tune, so I figured I'd hold off on that one for a little while. You just think I should dyno it and not get it tuned to see the numbers it's putting out? Here are the options from the local shop:
Option 1: Base and Backup Run. This allows you one base and backup run only. $199
Option 2: Five Run Session. This allows you to make up to five runs with the ability to make tuning adjustments between runs. The time limit on this option is two hours from the start of your first run. If more runs are needed, a charge of $25 per run will be applied after the completion of your fifth run. This option is limited to one vehicle only. $349
Option 3: Daily Rental. The daily rental session runs from 9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. This is limited to a maximum of two vehicles. $599
Option 4: P and J Speed Shop "Power Tune" Package. This is where we use our many years of experience to squeeze every ounce of power out of your vehicle. We will spend up to eight hours on the Dynojet to assure you the BEST possible results. This option is backed by the P and J Power Dollar Guarantee. If we can't show you an increase in horsepower and torque, you don't pay. We guarantee results! A complete dyno graph and numerical printout will be provided upon completion. Minor tuning parts such as spark plugs, carb jets, distributor springs, etc., are included. $449
Can anyone suggest another shop nearby Buffalo, NY.. or are these prices reasonable? Anywhere from Northern PA to Northeastern Ohio or Central NY is fine.
Well john lund tunes all of evolution performance's gt500's pushing over 1000hp. He is in the philly area...which seems a little out of your range but he is one of the best on the east coast. But he does travel to tune as well. But that seems a bit high to me. Id just go to a local dyno day and do 2 runs with wideband to check your a/f ratio and if that is where its supposed to be, then dont worry about it for right now. But if its over 11.8, id get it tuned.
