no because my iroc fired up with the same tune and 60lb injectors. it sounds like there no spark. so something isnt hooked up regarding the coils or along that line.

Wow, looking at the pics with the truck intake made me forgot about even trying to use it. That sold me on buying an ls6 intake.

so decided to wire up a different fuse box and still the same issue. cranks but wont start. spraying brake cleaner while its cranking will get it to fire for a sec but wont stay running. i got spark and fuel. dunno what else it could be.

so we decided to pull the heads and cam off today. found something interesting when i pulled the heads off, well i should say i didnt find something (headgaskets) lol. anyways were putting different heads, cam, studs and he finally got the intake we ordered months ago.

so while we wait for the parts he decided to mock up some custom parts that might be built for this car and possibly be for sale if there is interest in them.

goin to make a front splitter (of course since hes 6LE) , side ground effects and a rear diffuser setup.
