It is a friends car. He is having the valve covers done and it was dirty, so he asked me not to post motor shots. It is a crate GMPP ls6 with a 4l60e behind it.

He built it as a driver/fun car for his wife. His wife picked out the steering wheel, color, dash, gauges, exhaust, etc. She got what she wanted.

Car revs to about 5500rpm then drops out, comes back, goes to 5500 and repeats. Feels like letting off the throttle but TPS is 100% the whole time. No KR or any wierd signals from what I was logging. Any ideas?

Nice cobra. Who's the maker? FFR, Superformance, etc..? Can't really tell from the pictures.
Love the fuel rail covers..

On your cutout issue, like what was said earlier, have the rev limiter checked. When I first started tuning mine it was set to 5500.

Not a big fan of Cobra's, but, have no choice to luv one that is LSX powered. That is freakin' awesome. Thanks for posting.

I'll check the maf readings tonight when I log it some more. I attached the tune. Limiter is 6800 I believe. Can't look at it at work. I know it revs fine to 6800 in neutral when we did the CASE learn.
