Sounds like you've got a good grip on things, I'd run a compression check while you're in there. Doesn't take that much more time, and if #7 tossed a ringland now is a good time to find out.

wow.. ok "Duffster"
the car is an LS1. 30k miles
232/234 .595/.598 112, stock 243s, 90/90
full exhaust, injectors, etc.. etc..
th400, full suspension. yada yada
A WET KIT THAT HAS HAD 1 BOTTLE THROUGH IT AFTER A DYNO TUNE
& THE OLD M6 SET UP


the car WAS dyno tuned before the th400, WHILE I had an M6 and was running ALRIGHT, was never compeltely satisified with the tune. But it ran decent. Once i got HP Tuners i started seeing that a lot of things were NOT adjusted and it was pretty much a VE/PE table rape. Hence why i fucked around with the tune, and i will admit, i DIDNT KNOW ENOUGH TO BE ******* AROUND WITH A TUNE with this type of car..

the car sat for a year after i gave up, i never had a decent wideband reading and thought i wasnt getting anywhere. didnt have money to drop into to car so it sat..
now im getting back into things, and im tearing into the car only to run into issues, and their being replaced/fixed.

Im going to start with a fresh 2001 M6 tune, and completely go from scratch NOW THAT I UNDERSTAND A LITTLE MORE ABOUNT TUNING

we good? btw i love your sig.. agree 100%
