Guy with Hugger Z: Probably Josh
Guy who blew his fender off: Jeff, he does work at SECO. Supposedly he's building up a 408 iron block for spray. I can't wait to see that. It's the same setup I'm eventually going with. I want to see someone else do it first.

PM me or post up in the Southern Forum when you come. I'm out there most every Fri for TNT.

Could be a tune problem or a lose in compression over the years. Of coarse I know a guy with a 98 that has 140k on his M6 LS1 and he still made 389 with cam and all bolt ons.

Who tuned the car, Thunder Racing or someone local?
The car is tuned. When I brought the car in there without a tune, everything was pretty much on par.

It is a 98 with 100k miles. It has the weaker heads, so maybe that is the problem.
