I drove 60 miles to the track ran 14.1 , 14.0, 14.0, 14.0, and 14.0, never could get 13.999

Haven't figured the mpgs get, but I drove it all the way hom also with racing 5 times, only burned 1/4 tank 120miles.

I think its getting about 18mpg's on the higheway, but I figure it up one of these days.

I have vids of all the runs I post up in a few days

You are a tune away from the 13's!! Also, might want to think about an 85mm maf, those two items will get you there no problem. We have truck 85mm mafs for $60 +shipping.
I would leave the screen in for better part throttle driving.

Yeah, I def. want a good tune, but I think I wanna do more all at once, ls6 manifold, UD pulley, LS6 cam, and the 85mm MAF.

Does your MAF come ready to plug in? or does it need a tune for proper results?

Yes!!! Can't wait to see the times after your new mods. Do you think you can lower your 60ft? Is it spinning or dead hooking and pulling that 2.0 60ft?

After all your mods maybe a 100 shot just for giggles at the track?

It was hooking for the most part, a stall is what it needs, maybe a 2800 just to keep it tight on the street.
