Man, talk about a heart break till you saw that happened.

Friend of mine just did a 6.0 in his third gen since he liked the way mine ran, but he has better heads and is automatic so should run harder, he finished it and said t was not running right, told him my carb tune, and I get a text later, there was trash in the primary jets and he is blown away at the lack of traction he now has, lol.

Nope, when I go with the power adder, I will probably just end up with a blow through carb.

Buddy of mine with a ls3 swap had the pedal calibrated wrong on the electric throttle body. Was only opening 64% at WOT. He re calibrated it and got it to open 98%. He went from a 12.4 to an 11.5.

Makes a pretty big difference I would say.

1.531 60' 6.991 @98mph
10.97 @ 124mph
Off transbrake
30 degrees timing shifting at 7200 rpm.

Need to lower instant center. Front end goes up imediately. Feels like it needs more forward push than going up.
