Default nova running , tuning , makes power.

thought id throw an update in here. got my aem uego a couple days ago and got started on tuning. car is rich for some reason it likes to be under 12. afr at idle and if I lean it out it starts searching for a solid idle. well it seems to run great after driving around adding a little fuel here and there in the cruise it drives perfect afr moves around but you whould never know it to drive it. under power it goes rich low 10s but its safe. right now it is 15* timing at 10# boost and low 10s afr. convertor is great hooks up solid by 4500 and holds the power. but as it sits it is totally untunable at wot as the tires just break loose at any speed under 55mph in high gear. and drives like my Yukon.

I couldn't be happier with the total package and I owe a huge thanks to denmah and ls1tech in general . without this tech support I whould have had a carb on this thing .

it still has a lot of little things to work out but that's why I like it keeps me from ever getting bored with it.

Great to hear mike. Are you running gasoline?
You prob need to tune the base running airflow.
