Oh and the vette will be ready for a new tune in a couple months. H/C/I should be done by the end of february. Setup on the low side should be good to 450/500.

That bottom end in that engine isnt going to hold 450-500,probably break at about 375.

Thanks for the assist. Its nice to have a local sponsor. I'll be leaving some positive feedback in the Sponsor forum for you guys.
