I have a dedicated cell supplying the Direct Port at 5.5 psi, then the stock fuel system with a 255 runs everything else, including the Pro-Flow plate.

A local buddy in our car club has been running BS3 for years and sings the praise thing all the time. Doesn't this computer allow individual cylinder tuning for fuel and timing? That's what i would look for when and if I move from the stock PCM. I really have not had an issue with lean cylinders like some, but still playing it safe with holes like #7 would be wonderfull when going big hits like some us plan. The other thing I would love to add to my tuner kit is 8 EGTs. There is a kit that will shut system down if you get out of parameters (temp). Once we know a good tune, the EGTs will and can tell us a lot. I currently have a single EGT (for sale), but single would be better for the boosted guys, IMO. Once you get into the tuning more, let us know how stuff works.

But, I have alot of stuff I'm gonna be doing when I get started... expect a build thread
Wow, I never realized how much weight was saved by going drag brakes. I am trying to get rid of the extra, 80/100lbs of the iron block, do you think the Vette could save that kind of weight also? What all is changed, rotors, pads and cylinder? Trying to get the car to handle like a Z06 once again (nose dive), and of course this would help launching too.


After watching the video again... First, I am in no way shape or form an F-bod suspension expert, lol, so be easy on me guys, lol. Would a cheap set of home made travel limiters help with the way it bounces? Seems with all that travel it allows, or causes kind of a platform to launch the car higher than it should on each bounce? Maybe I am way off and better things to do right away, like drag shocks...

Go here and download the manual. Once you spend a few minutes reading, you'll be sold. No more laptop logging, individual fueling, individual spark. If you decide to go that route, I'll pass on the info that RPM (NC) passed on to me about running nitrous with everything controlled through the box.

I wish I had gone this direction a long time ago. I would be alot further along in my goal for the stock cube record.

Well, I managed to fill my bottles. I had a little more left in my mother bottle than I thought

Looks like I'll be racing this weekend. Weather permitting of course. Should be some badass air though.

Well, we got rained out. End of the season. Now I'm looking for somewhere that'll be open in mid November.
