Car probably weighed 3350 without me. And those times where with stock rear and 3.42 gears and ET streets/stock suspension.
NExt time I go to the track I will be almost 200 lbs lighter, 12 bolt/3.73s, HAls all around, K member, BMR suspension, and another 125 hp.
Be about three weeks before its ready.

Is this done through a unit such as the "timing tuner" or is it done through actual computer tuning?

Actual computer tuning. Jeremy at Fasterproms.com and I figured out an easy way to do this though the MAF vs RPM tables. It takes a little thought but its not too difficult.

probably a secret. i have talked to jeremy (fasterproms) about this setup. simply amazing and efficient. not many in the country are willing to take the time these guys did to run a big dual dry shot. it has paid off.

oh and Al, why you talkin about that not so sekrit bridge

i cant wait to do this system. just need to get the cash for an extra motor!

Wow, mind blowing. I like it; that clears all sarcastic comments about "bigshot dry VS Wet" .
Ahhh the 9's will I ever see them? Only 0.96 seconds faster (more parts, more cash, more research, more advice, more tears-----------------> All this for a big grin on my ugly face)

The tuning is not a secret. There are several who have done it succesfully. But there are a few steps you have to take before you can know how to program it. I just dont know enough of the LS1 Edit jargon to lay it out. I wouldnt want people blowing thier motors due to my inadequate description.

BTW....two stage dry/wet works just as well or better if you want over 275-300 rwhp. I will be doing a 200 dry/200 wet soon. That way i can still use the dry tuning and get the benifits of that. And use a stand alone fuel cell/pump up front with higher octane race gas for the wet stage.

the real funny part is that if you think about it, we are acually spending more money to spend less time in our cars racing. this sux. i spent $20,000 to buy a car that i can only race 12 seconds at a time. what i should of done is buy a metro for $8,000. then i could race for 18 seconds at a time. that would be cool. also, if i get the optional automatic, i will never ever break anything.
