its a mail order.... No, but Mike, i dont have time to tune your car right now man. Not to mention, if you wanted me to do it I require you buy a wide band, and hard wire it in through the EGR port, as thats how my PIDS are setup in HPT. Ide take it to speed inc...

Reason why I asked is because he seemed fine with it when he got it back from Texas Speed. I just sent mine there for a mail order tune.

well my car is running really rich not to mention i got worked by a cam only set up and a bolt on mustang gt i know, we did a couple pulls after josh's my car was kicking out more smoke than a bpu supra. so me dave and andy, are ripping off the stock ls1 intake of mine putting on a bbk ssi (n20) intake. then we are hooking up daves wide band and getting air to fuel ratio readings at different throttle positions and send it back to tsp hopefully that helps out.

Would be worth it if you can drive it afterwards. Took me 3 weeks of running up and down access roads to get mine JUST RIGHT. . .

FYI, tomorrow is the last AutoCross at Eddyville for the year if anyone's interested. My dad and i are taking our cars down to work the suspension around corners rather than just straightline stuff for a change.
I see they rescheduled the last Midnight madness as well too, i believe its the 25th Sept but check eddyville's website to confirm.
Oh and got my LPE launch controller installed on my Vette, definently fun to launch now lol, not sure what the rear-end thinks of the 4500 drops though

Glad to see you changed your mind! Your rear should be fine! You are running Sumitomo tires.. You aren't going to hook whatsoever. You've seen my light bolt-on lt1 with them so I'm sure a H/C/I LS1 is not going to hook.

You don't really have much suspension mods to get the power to the ground either so your rear should be fine. I'd say for now buy a new girdle cover and possibly change your gear fluid. Thats what I'm doing with mine.

Get a dynotune, Mike. There is no point in spending all that money on a top-end and full bolt-on's if you are not going to have it fine-tuned.

Rumor around the block is that he ran a best of 11.3 at Cedar Falls.

If you spent $10,000 on mods with your car, I'm pretty sure you could manage that to

I just want to see somebody beat him... because of that plate.. lol

Word around the block is also that if somebody starts pulling on him he slams the brakes and doesn't let it happen and then whines making excuses. These rumors around the block are from DSM people too, so no biased f-body lover comments here
