Now.. If I can get it to run for more than 3 seconds at a time I will let you know how it drives!

Thanks.. Very nice product! I bought it from MTI Racing. Pretty slow to respond typically, but their prices were the best. c/s leaves a little to be desired.

Sure seems like it, but I had speartech mod the harness and program the PCM last year and it ran fine with the LS1 in it this spring? VATS wont turn itself back on with the battery disconnected will it?

Just on a whim, I disconnected the battery for :30 minutes to reset the PCM and when I hooked it up the car started, idled perfectly - ran for about :15 minutes. rev'd perfectly - not stumble or hesitation. got up to temp, fans came on.. even shut it off and started it back up a couple times - no fault lights. Now after sitting for 5-10 minutes it wont stay running again - behaving like it did initially? I have disconnected the battery again.. Will let it sit and try again.. Any thoughts?

very nice car. That engine looks right at home. I dont have any input on the electrical problem, except double check your grounds, I have one question for you that is unrelated to your problem. What part number is your upper radiator hose?

How in the world will you ever get traction with that monster?

If you keep feathering the throttle, can you keep it running? I have one swap that every spring when I get it back out, (I unhook the battery since it's an Optima, and when they go dead, they're dead!) it will start and die several times. By feathering the throttle, In can keep it running, and then I assume it 're-learns' everything and will start and run fine. It never does this unless the battery is unhooked for an extended period of time. Might let it run a little longer and maybe drive it if you can and see what happens? I'm pretty sure my issue lies within the tune, because every other swap I've done doesn't do this, and this car is the only one I had the tune done by this particular place. Just a thought. Hope you get it fixed soon so you can actually enjoy it. It looks great!

This is an optima battery as well, but it will not stay running by feathering the throttle. I run runs perfect for 3-5 seconds then just dies. Odd that it ran perfect for :15 minutes and now its doing it again? Almost like it kinda learning and then lost its memory again? I will reset the battery/ pcm again and see if it runs longer this time. Thanks for the ideas!

Havent thought that far ahead yet! Actually, I've always wanted a car with rear steering! This might be close!! haha..

Got her running.. I guess just unhooking the battery a couple times and letting it run long enough to re-learn? Seems to be running and starting fine now. Took her on a short trip around the block. Didnt lay the wood to it, but just a couple quick 1/2 throttle squirts - OMG wicked... :-)

Nice clean install.

You should have plenty of power...LOL.

How many lbs of boost do you plan to run?

WhitePhoenix

I must say that is truly a sweet looking ride, what kinda power u looking to put out and can we get some general specs on the car (like any other mods and what not)

Thank you very much! A lot of time, effort and research. 99% of everything I did, I read right here on LS1Tech. Couldnt / wouldnt have tackled this project with this site as a resourse. The rest was just taking my time and trying to do everything right the first time!!

MTI put a smaller pulley on the jackshaft from stock for me before they shipped. Should be around 10 lbs. they estimated. I have a boost gauge, but I havent installed it yet. Off to the dyno for some tuning! Thanks

Cool ride. The idle/ run issue sounds just like what was going on with mine initially. Once I babied it enough to make it around the block it was good enough to drive to get tuned. Is there any way to run a/c with that setup?
