Default Tuning a Twin Turbo LS2 Go Kart

Just for fun. Had this on the dyno today and just could not get it hooked on the rollers. I think a good stiff breeze would blow it over. Should be fun when finished though

That looks like it'll be fun when it's finished. Next time I'm in the area I'll have stop by.

It still needs some work but at least it runs good now. He told me I could have a ride when it was done. I respectfully declined ... haha.

Both. We could not get it to hook on the rollers though. Tires were just regular radials. Once the turbos spooled up and we hit 3500 rpm the tires just spun. Eric actually stood on the back of the car and we had four straps on it. Still slipped. The car is just so light. I detected a hint of clutch burning smell too. Fuel and spark are good though so he will be ok to run it until we can get some sticky tires on it.
