Default Ft Myers, Gainesville S. Florida (Davie) Formato Tuning and Porting

Wednesday November 18th in Ft Myers

Please call or PM for all shop info, as board rules prohibit listing of the shop names.


Friday November 20th in Gainesville


S. Florida - Davie on Monday November 23rd and Tuesday the 24th



The cost of dyno tuning is $400 + $80/hr for the dyno. If you are just looking for a street tune he can also do that for $300 w/ WB o2. We work very hard and are extremely thorough to make sure every vehicle is perfect and you are completely satisfied.

We will have ported intake manifolds for $300 and the throttle bodies for $150 all readily available. When they are done together it is discounted to $400. Installation is free.

We will also now have the new Stage 2 intakes for $375.00 or $475.00 for both the intake an throttle body together.

http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/genera...e-porting.html



Why a Formato Fasterprom Ported manifold and throttle body?
Average gain from stock to our ported LS2 manifold is 11 rwhp and 13 rwtq, and we have done well over 350 of these intakes. On a LS3/L76 the gains on average are 12 rwhp and 15rwtq and have done over 60 of these. LS7's gain on average 18 rwhp and 20rwtq, we have done over 110 of these. We have had many cars gain much more than the averages listed: 20RWHP from an LS2, 32RWHP for an LS7, and 30RWHP from a L76 and 22RWHP from an LS3.

Great article on our tuning and porting in High Performance Pontiac:

Porting the TB is a very nice SOTP difference, you will not see much of a gain on the dyno but your vehicle will be 10x more fun to drive and your throttle response will be greatly increased.

Porting the LS1 TB's is $100 installed. This will also greatly improve your throttle response. This is all on a core exchange basis.




We will be requiring a $100 deposit to hold the spots.

Here are some customer testimonials on Jeremy's tuning:

If anyone is interested in having any headers or exhaust installed, we can get that done with enough notice, please call the shop to schedule an appt for this.

Here are some graphs of some cars that we dynoed, tuned, and swapped the intakes and TBs. Some are direct A-B swaps and show the results. Some are Base runs then a rough tune and then we swap the intake and TB, and then fully optimize the tune.



Here is a GTO LS2 before and after our ported intake and tb:



07 LS7, base tune to our ported intake and tune:


Here is a C6 LS2 base run to ported intake and tune.


Here is a 2010 SS M6 with LMR CAI and our ported TB and before and after Formato Tuning(in 90 degree weather)


Stock LS3 base run to our ported intake and TB:


Here is a G8 before and after our tune and ported intake:




383 LS6 to ported FAST and nice set of heads:


408 LS6 to ported FAST:






Obviously the larger motors wanted the larger manifold more than a smaller motor but we have had an LS2 with one of our ported LS2s on it put a ported FAST on there and pick up 22RWHP and 30RWTQ on a 6L bolt-on 07 vette.

Note LS1 and LS6 manifolds are not ported as there are no measurable gains with porting.
