Reccommend me someone to work on an LS1 ESP car - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Howdy,

'99 z28, ESP prep, no a/c, no emissions, etc.

I still haven't tracked down an issue I've been having with my car missing on a cylinder, mostly due to lack of time / desire to work on it.

I also figure I should install an LS6 intake, and get the car tuned properly for that plus other already installed (ESP) stuff.

Can anyone recommend someone to work on this thing in say a 6-ish hour radius of Youngstown, OH (between Pittsburgh, PA & Cleveland, OH)? Cheaper is better, but "working car" is better than that. Needs to be someone that won't freak when they open the hood and all the emissions stuff is gone, etc. I have HPTuners, so if they use that and have unlocked tunes, that would be ideal.

If you're someone knowledgeable and want a side project, that would be cool too.

Appreciate any pointers! Everyone else's ESP car seems to be "turn the key and it just runs", and my car needs to become that or I'm going to set it on fire.

Mark

I almost set mine on fire too That is where I would look especially if you already checked your coils,plug wires and plugs..
