Since I had the 416 LS3 installed in the car I've been chasing a few problems:

1) a clunk in the steering from a stop. Inner tie rods? the steering feels a little odd, I already replaced the PS pump and drained/refilled fluid with new. Problem still exists.

2) RPMs drop when steering goes to full lock in both directions and if I don't feed it throttle the engine will die (still dies regardless sometimes). Rarely- but also rev matching on down shifts coming to a stop (no steering input) the RPMs dip just below 500rpm and then they come back up to idle..has died a couple times. Or an alternative to low RPM is high RPM idle after to coming to a stop from rev matching down shifts (sometimes without downshifts). It will idle around 1300 then after being stationary for ~3 seconds it drops back to the 800/900 idle.

3) Throttle cable on the NW 96 TB is loose causing a lag in the throttle input, how do I adjust this?

Any help or input?

I'm not a big fan of mail order tunes. I'd rather have someone "local" that I can see face to face if I have any problems, and unfortunately CMS is no longer local to me

Its not "mail order".

He sends you a tune via e mail, you put in on a flash drive, load it in the car with HP Tuners, drive the car and datalog.

Save and Send him a the datalog via e mail, he tweaks the tune and sends it back till he gets it right.

It's called "remote tuning" and many shops do it, you are doing the same thing.

A "street tune" is most often better than a dyno tune as it's "real world".

Just trying to help you out, I have used this method with Ed Wright(Fastchip) and Ed Hutchins (HiTech tuning).

I can tell you this, my barge Z28 with a stock LS6 that made 385 to the wheels ran a C5 Z06 on the Power Tour on the interstate twice. He at at least had exhaust(loud) and I was carrying 250lbs of luggage and all the crap from the Power Tour. First race from 70-130 he got his ass cracked, second race he got the kick and pulled 1/2 a car on me from 70-130. Says plenty for Ed Hutchin's tune in this car.

EDIT

The car ran 115MPH in the 1/4 skating around in 1st and 2nd gear in 70* 100% humidity air, that's faster than 80% of stock Z06's 1/4 mile.
