yeah its the vic with an elbow
it is running HPtuners 2bar SD with a 3 bar sensor
meaning the sensor can see 28psi and the fuel table only goes to 15psi approx

its a gen3 5.3, 317 heads (he did this three years ago so lowering compression was all the rage) it has a 224/224 cam and some valvesprings, other than that its all stock, oh and this has needless rodbolts in the bottom end since everyone told him to do that years ago also.
