Default TT LS6 sandrail

Here are a few pics and a video from our tuning session of an LS6 TT sandrail. It is so wide it really doesn't fit on a dyno well. Still a work in progress. It is only running 6 lbs of boost right now and very conservative timing on avgas. Turbo kit by 1st performance. It friggen moves!

I was giggling like a little school girl. It was friggen hilarious to have this thing just squat and grab with all the weight over the rear tires. Stock LS1 f-body PCM wired/tuned appropriately. Avgas is nice because it is cheap, easy to get, and has a higher octane level. Yes it is designed for lower RPM/high elevation and is a "dirtier" blend of gas but still works for higher octane requirements without O2 feedback. Most guys with more extreme motor setups use avgas out at the dunes for those reasons.
