Default Boosted LT1

Nothing special to see here. Car made 563/481 on 8lbs on the dyno. Biggest issue was blowing through the converter. We calculated the slippage and it was roughly 40% based on the tuners observation and me using a converter calculator. Car was on E98 at the time because there wasn't good E85 in the area due to winter blends. Obviously from the vid, there is too much fuel upon decel, having the FPR hooked up correctly probably would've helped. 80ish percent duty cycle with 17* of timing so far. So hopefully I can get these gremlins worked out and have a successful year this year.

Issues to be fixed:
1. Converter
2. Cylinder #4 misfire
3. Boost referenced FPR vacuum line was not connected
4. Plugs gapped too far
5. Developed exhaust leak while on dyno

I am the guy that cares more about an ET than dyno numbers. But who wouldnt want killer dyno numbers?

Well I have new converter and other other issues wrapped up. Car pulls a lot harder and tire breaks loose with ease now. Will be going to track here soon to see what type of data I can get. 2 step and A arms are installed as well. Car is 95% done.

Im somewhat satisfied. Went 7.04 on the brakes hard shifting at 5500rpm with 84mph trap. Didnt even turn my boost controller on, so this was all on gate pressure which is 8lbs. 1.5 60ft. Not a horrible 60ft but I wanted more
