LQ9 with AI 232 243s and SNS2 - Tick Tuned I picked up my Chevelle last Friday after leaving it at Tick's for the week to be dyno and street tuned. Jonathan had previously provided the starter tune which carried me along as I was getting other things completed.
I'm very pleased with how the car drives, the SNS2 in my opinion is very streetable which is impressive considering the power it makes on bottom and top. That said, floor the loud pedal and this thing takes off. First gear is basically useless over 1/2 throttle, and it doesn't let up all the way to almost 7000rpm!!
Thanks again to Martin for his recommendations and help putting my combo together for AutoX and track days. I may take it to the strip at some point just to see what it will do.

3in X-pipe to 22in UltraFlo's to 3in tailpipes (nice sound, not loud)
T56 with LS7 clutch to a 12 bolt

I'm extremely pleased with my AI heads. This cam's sweet spot is right where I needed it to be, and I'm guessing the FAST along with the heads extend the powerband past the peak. All about matching the combo to the car's expected use.
