Default Got the Base Tune in today

For any of you interested in this swap, it's on now..
Today I went up to the guy that Tunes all the LSX's here, and we put in the Base Tune. I plugged in the Harness, the PCM, grounded it where it needed to be, and as soon as we turned the key, the Fuel Pump kicked on, everything lit up like normal, and we tuned it. It will be adjusted when it's broken in. We set it up to 90% capability compared to his other Tunes on similar Engines, basically right now it's tuned to atleast 550+hp
It's got Fuel, everything checks out, so it's all good now. I got to get this Engine in..

I can see it now after its all broken in, some cocky ****** with a LS1 is goin to roll up next to me and be like "he's just an old LT1.." Then BAM..
He wouldn't even know what hit him..

Keep it up.

I'm looking forward to what this entire project entails. I've been starting to price out a 355 build with a snail -- but this could be another possibility.

Rock on

I know right..
It will be on a regular diet of Imports/Mustangs, with a nice cocky LS1 every once in a while. Can't spoil it too much..
