Simple tune in my 99 really woke it up. Also melted the spark plugs at WOT and took out number 7 piston. Be careful how much you lean it out and check the porcelain around the inside of the spark plugs for signs of overheating. Mine ran great for a long time but it eventually took its toll ruining number 7 piston.

Congrats?

A stock ls1 without a tune shouldn't have a problem with an srt8 charger.

That might depend on the SRT/8 Charger in question. A 2013 or newer model, with 470hp/tq might just be a tad difficult to outrun with an old stock F-body.

I didn't know they had climbed that far. I haven't seen or looked into one since I left the dodge dealer in 09.
