Default It lives!!!!

My tuner came over last night and we did a street tune. Dyno tune in a month or so. Pulls harder than a NY purse snatcher.

Shitty cell mic doesn't do it justice, but......

Thanks fellaz! I'm in love all over again


FYI: I ended up having to put the taller Yella Terra Valve Cover Gaskets on in order for the rockers to not hit the covers.

Good idea getting a street tune.. who gives a **** about peak dyno numbers if it doesnt pull hard on the street and cant maintain a steady idle at 850..

I'll try to hit the dyno by the end of the month.

It pulls hard as F the entire band and then 5k and above it pulls even a tad harder.

Rob, I definitely will be making it down soon! Let me know when you plan on going and hopefully we can assemble a crew!

Ya, let's work this C&C meet out.

What is the shootout? Like they rent a track and you just run it?

The LsX shootout is the biggest gathering of LS powered cars. The fastest LS cars in the country will be there.. We are just lucky enough that is in Indy for a 2nd year in a row. Its an all wknd thing. Jet powered dragsters, Outlaws, single digit cars are common, Lots of vendors its worth checking out if you like that type of stuff..

We could meet at Ricks Boatyard again, the track is only 10 min from there.

Now RPM transmissions rents out Muncie dragway and that is coming up also.. That is a free track day and you can make as many runs as you want. Thats closer to you I believe, arent you northern IN?
