no dyno yet but probably next week sometime...PCMforless tuned it to the specs of the motor and I must say for a mail order tune it runs really good,its not really rich or really lean no hesitation runs great...

This set-up needs more than a mail order tune. Hard to say. Sure you have a big cam, loose stall and short gears but if they do not work well together than forget it. Easy 11s though. If it works well together than 10s are there.

oh I definetly know it needs a tune,I more or less just ordered that so I could have something to drive it on for a week or so to get some miles before I got it dynoed,right now im looking for a good place to dyno it..

Good Luck on sunday. I know how shakedowns can be. I made one last week and only ran 12.12 @ 118.49 with a 2.001 60'. Track prep sucked and I got rained out. Also still learning the new set-up from a driving perspective. Hope to try again next tuesday.
