im not downing SD in any way, its just i live in Ohio, 4 hours away from any reputable tuner. i need to find someone close that is good with SDCL tunes. i wouldnt mind running it on 110 all the time, because its mainly going to be a track car, so i could go SDOL, however, i cant justify 7 bucks a gallon every time i want to take it on a trip somewhere insted of up on the trailer to the track. so SDCL it is for me. now find me a good tuner reasonably close.

85 maf and a 76 intake here. The car has run 10.50's @ 127 on motor. It drives like a stocker around town. If we go with a 102 this summer I will change the Maf out then with a 3 type.

Going from an 85mm to an LS3 type.... You're probably chasing down single digits with your conservative size motor bro. Money probably better spent somewhere else IMO....
