UNSTANG:
How much work is left to do before it hits the street? I was hoping to have mine tuned before the end of jan but I still haven't had time to head out to speed inc.
Hope to see it out this summer.

My car runs, I have to take the 4.56 gears out of it before it gets tuned. I just bought some 5 lug wheels today & I'm ordering a new center section & axles tomorrow.

SWAP MEET special on some Race Stars...I didn't really want black wheels, but these are better than the standard issue Weld Drag Lites that I have. I'm going to do a low buck 5 lug conversion for now & maybe someday I'll get the brakes & wheels I want.


Someone else in this thread has all the secrets! (cough, cough Caged02.)

I have turned full blooded "Rockabilly"! I am sure most people on this site doesn't even know what that means. No more going fast for me, I am to old for that sh*t now. Lol.

Scott, I have a feeling that you'll change your mind.

Here is how my pile sits now...

I've gotta get some good ones to post. I have some camera phone pics, but snapped in the shop, they don't do it justice, so I'll wait to ***** it out.

I have a t56 out of a 05 cts-v with 40 or 50k on it. I was going to put it in my car but I may go a different route now. I think some things need to be swapped on it?

So far the record is 230 HP and 261 TQ on my Impala.

Ive got a couple 'test' cars that we'll be tuning to get the feel for the dyno operation as well as the tuning flow. After the comfort level has set in, we will offer dyno tuning on customer vehicles.

Good to hear. It might be time for a dyno day/open house real soon.



Funkster-Thanks. I'll have some pics of the rest of it up soon.

If you guys do a dyno day I know 5 or 6 people that would be willing to come. I really hope to see you guys doing good at tuning so I don't have to take my car to chicago just to get tuned. Good luck and keep us posted on the progress of tuning.

Dyno pictures look good. Looking foward to seeing it in person. I knew you were selling the bike but why the car too?
