I've been trying to get out there. One reason or another, something always holds me up. Now if I'm really lucky, it'll be next weekend.

Oh I thought you guys always raced at Pacific international raceway. Why do you not race there? Is it crap? I thought about heading that way this year to hit up a sea level track.

Nitroused - It isn't Pacific International Raceway. It is just Pacific Raceway (PR) which is located in Kent, WA in the Seattle area. Most of us live in the Portland area and that is why we go to Portland International Raceway (PIR). Pacific has a good track, but have had issues in management lately. The newest manager was recently hired, and sounds like a good guy

I thought all tunes from Wong come with a free year of updates? He told me if I get a new tb, I can get it retuned within a year for free.

Well maybe 2002BlackTA and I will have to make a trip to Portland (PIR) sometime this summer and meet up with you guys.

If you are running the same MAF and it was scaled properly I don't see why swapping intakes would be a big issue. Say your LS6 intake was pulling 330 gram / sec of airflow through the maf, I am sure the correct air fuel ratio was tuned at this point. Now maybe your new setup is pulling 345 g/sec, the MAF should be very close in fueling if it was calibrated right. The main thing to worry about is if you were close to max duty cycle on your injectors with the LS6 intake and you threw the fast on, you may now be running out of fuel and need bigger injectors.

You best bet is to give Wong and call see if he can tweak it for you real quick. It wouldn't take long at all with a wideband.
