I contacted trifecta already, still waiting for an email back. I am a little iffy on letting just anyone touch my car, and I don't really know if I trust myself to tune it, maybe someone that has done it before but definitely not just myself. The guy told me that he could send me a tune for my car, but like I said I dunno just yet. BUTTTT, I am looking to get my car back up and running ASAP, I hate not having my car. I wanted it done by this weekend but found out that might not be happening.
I was supposed to take it down to fast track performance today and they were going to tune it and have it done by Wednesday but they never returned my phone call so I am pretty upset about that. Anyway I really desperately need it tuned, I can't drive it without the tune on it. =(

No I don't have your number I have Laura's =) I tried to call it and went to some old guy that didn't know who either or you were lol...
The injectors are 42# instead of 60#, but Charles at Automotion put a GM stage 2 on it, but I still didn't wanna drive it with the methanol on it, but I am putting the 60# back in there and having it tuned tomorrow until Trifecta can get me in their shop. =)
They are easy to install as long as you have the tools, my husband and his dad did ours and it's about a 2 hour job, maybe less if there is 2 people working on it, but mine was pretty simple I watched them do it! But I love my sport-lines they are AWESOME, and it's a smooth ride, feels the same as stock to me, but I need something new because I want to go lower =)

Well I am taking it up to Indy for the shop that does Trifecta to tune it. I talked to the guy up there and he is very interested in getting my car up there for him to take a look at it. So we shall see!

Don't mean to change the subject of the car show, but I was wondering if anyone would have an idea about this problem I'm having. I posted this in the Wheel/Tire section but no one answered so I figured I would ask local. Lil lengthy
About 2 weeks ago I got new wheels put on. It was fine at first then last week I start feeling and hearing this like bumping noise while driving. It's really getting annoying, I have taken all my tires off and checked for a bubble/bulge and saw felt nothing. Check all the wheel bearings they are all fine. Rotated them, still could hear it. So I went and got the alignment checked everything was perfect. At this point I am getting pretty ticked. So the guy that checked the alignment said it could be the lugs I got on there now throwing off the centering of the wheel. So I made him order new ones. So I was wondering if anyone else would have an idea what the heck this noise/bumping is. Got the Lugs yesterday actually, and it's still there. While I was in class today I was thinking about it and the thought that maybe the balancing is off, like to much weight on one tire. I don't know tho just a thought?

If the balance on the wheels were off, it would ride like the tires are square to some extent. (depending on how far the balance is off..) I know it is a dumb question now, but is the lug pattern the correct one? I think the LS's are 4x100 but don't quote me on it. another thing to look at are the bushings in the front end. mine are starting to make noise when hitting bumps and it sounds like a suspension knock.
As far as the car show, I talked with the lady that is trying to put it together and she is still trying to drum up the interest through operations. Hopefully it will be allowed to have non-employee's on site or possibly use the hub parking lot where SCCA runs.

Yeah it's 4x100, I had a different wheels on in the winter, and there was no problem. Think I'm going to run it up the the tire shop tomorrow and get it checked out, if that's not the problem I have no clue what it is. Was just seeing if anyone had any other thoughts about what it could be.
