Talking Getting ready for LTx Shootout

Clayton put together a little video of our tuning session.

Don't look for numbers... because we didn't show them.

Thanks to Tony for all his help getting the tune nailed down. A/F is right on the money. We have a hiccup (you will hear it) around 5K. Might be converter... trying to track it down and fix it.

I would be willing to bet it is the converter. Sounds like lock up at about the same RPM with each run.

Thanks Dave! I am trying to hit high 10's on motor. So damn close right now. The OEM LT4 intake manifold is holding this combo back, but no time to do anything about that before the shootout.

On the squeeze, my goal is to hang on and hope nothing breaks.
