Well the Weekend wasn't so successful, The car got its alignment, still waiting on some fab work to mount the radiator and spring for the hood, also needed a new windshield(just got it last night), installed fenderwells sunday, fastened the seat to the floor until new pans are installed, still need to button up some of the wiring.
Car is still waiting to be tuned, issue Crank Snesor Relearn we are trying to get this to happen but waiting on another scan tool this week to see if it works, car only has 2 degrees of timing and can't change that til the sensor is relearned.
Hopefully maybe this weekend we will take some video of the drive, also got issue with 1st gear which doesn't seem to be working unless its competer related.

Dyno Tune Complete! Well we went down to Tune Time Performance in Toms River, NJ today for some pulls on the dyno and to get this beat tuned.
She made me proud 400 HP @ 385 Ft Lbs to the Rear Tires.
We topped out on the pulls @ 150 MPH, Made the peak power about 6,000 RPM.
I will add a video tomorrow of the pulls and the dyno chart.
Stock LQ9 Block/ 243 Zo6 Heads untouched/ stock Ls6 Intake, Custom Cam in front of a TCI 4L60E on a GN 3.73 Rear End.

Unported heads, restricted intake (unported) with a FAST 90/90 it would be like 440-450 to the wheel, so i gotta keep my eye open if any pop up for a good price.

Precision Fabrications by Joe Gambino helped me out with few parts today before we tackle the anti-roll bar, new floor pans, and mounting seats and console and maybe 6 pt cage.
Here some pictures
Custom 4" cold air intake, cut the inner fender well out to suck up some cold air, custom radiator holder, and some new ET Streets.

That's awesome Ralph! You've got some good times there! Congratulations! I'm sure there's more in it. I wish my car was that light. Mine is 3450 without me, full tank of gas and jumps up to 3650 with me in it. I can't wait to get my stuff on and see what mine will run. As soon as my house is done, I can start concentrating on the car again. Good luck with her man!
