Back from Iraq, and the Car is back together Well I am back from Iraq, and the Car is back together. It had a blown Head Gasket, so it went together with the Heads milled 6 thousanths of an inch, port-matched to the Intake, EGR removed, Pace Setter Racing LT's installed with the Y-Pipe. I also put in a Strut Tower Bar.
I took it to the 1/8 mile track cause that is all that is around here, and it was running 8.3-8.5's with a 2.1 60ft. It couldn't launch good, but it was taking off. It beat a Honda that was spraying NOS, and a Vortech Supercharged LS1. It was the little sleeper at the track.
It was all good until I got pulled over. I was Racing a Miata MX5, and the cop pulled me cause I was the fast one. I almost got arrested, but I got a Citation, so I have to deal with that now..

We were just having some harmless fun on the street..but it was a legit pull over, I can't argue that. He was cool about it. I have to go to the courthouse and try to get it cleared up tomorrow.
As far as the Vette goes.. everyone knows a Vette is fast, they don't expect an F-Body to be pullin stuff that a Vette does. Some guy in a '03 coupe tried his best, and ate Camaro ***....

Ben,
Welcome back, safe and sound!
I didn't find an LT4 knock sensor module in your modification list on your cardomain site. Have you done anything to prevent the PCM from retarding your timing with the LT4 cam and roller rockers?
Anyone else care to chime in on whether/when the LT4 KSM is needed?
BTW, anyone else interested in a stripper Camaro, a guy over at the HybridZ web site scored one off of ebay and is only going to use the drivetrain. It's an '02 LS1 Camaro so this may be the wrong subforum, but he's already suggested he'd take $2500 for the rolling hulk minus the engine and tranny. It's got some body damage but apparently the platform is straight.

I have had the PCM tuned by a friend of mine, they used LT1 Edit, and he said to not worry about the Knock Sensor. He tunes them for racing, and mine got the Race Tune. They build 900hp LT1 Corvettes, so they know what they are doing..lol
