I can't believe you are still keeping track dude!
Ok....I made a new appointement, it's gonna be this Thursday, August 18th at 10 AM!!
The hold up is basically that we had a bit of a crisis at work, so I couldn't get a day off, and besides that, my buddy still has a bit of fiddling to do on the car.
We want to take the valve covers off again and check the torque or the rocker arm bolts. Also, my Spohn Torque Arm still needs some work, we need to tighten to front bolts down some more, and I ordered some longer bolts for where the TA attaches to the rear end...the stock bolts without washers are just cutting it to close.
Lastly, we wanna do the restrictor mod properly so that the holes are 3/16" not 5/16" as they are now.
Anything else I should check?
I have driven the car as little as possible, coz it's obviously running rich, so I hope my new plugs didn't get too messed up by this. I guess we'll pull one of the easy ones have have a good look at it.
I promise I'll post results on Thursday!!

Yeah, I was at Hooters the other night, and one of my buddies happened to be there and he had a reader with him. It was the P0300...multiple misfires, two instances of it. It comes on and off, but I am sure the tune will take care of that, right?

Yupp the tune should take good care of it

I ran my iron block 375 w/ a 244/248 cam on the stock tune for about 250 miles before I got it tuned and the plugs are fine. You shouldn't have a problem.

ArcticZ28,
My car is not running on a stock tune right now, it's running on a tune that was done after the LS6 intake and the headers were put in, and while it was there, the Throttle Body was ported. So I really dunno how it's running, but it sure smells rich...hehe. Not to the extend of gas dripping out of the exhaust or anything. It doesn't hesitate at all, doesn't backfire...it behaves rather well once she's warmed up

I can't wait to get this tuning business done, I'll feel much better afterwards.....at least I hope I will.
