Whodda Thunk it???? Who would have thought that a bad battery would cause idleing issues? 
I just replaced my battery cause the factory one finally gave up the ghost. 
Guess I should have replaced it long ago. Started the car and it found a nice pleasant idle in seconds. 
Guess now I can have Ellis tune it with no problems. Got my linelock installed and it works great. 
Only problem is when I went to test it out I got the one wheel peel??? 
Doesn't make much sense since Dan just rebuilt the rear last March. I hope it is ok. Gonna test it out again today.

That is amazing Doug. Like I told you when the battery was going south in my truck, every time I pulled up to a stop it wanted to die. I thought it was something bad, until it didn't start & I replaced the battery & all was fine again. Damn computer cars....glad you found it.

Yeah......that is a weird situation with the idle.
So have you found out if your 10bolt is okay? One wheel launches aren't going to get you into the 10's......

Haven't had the pleasure of seeing or talking to you in a while so it'll be nice to see you and that SS out at the track this year.

Have not done anything to make it faster. 
**** I still have not been able to afford to put a roll bar in it. Hopefully by mid May I will have the roll bar and a good tune. Shooting for 11's N/A and real low 11's, maybe high 10's if I'm lucky. Thinkin about Sunday if the weather is good. Yea it's been a long winter, but we'll get together soon. Can't wait to see what you have done to that monster. 
You put down some awsome #'s at the dyno. 
Hope it carries over to the track!!!!

Either way if the weather is good this weekend, I'll be out to watch the races. I have to work Friday and Saturday, but I'll show after I get off.

Thanks man...I was up in your area about lunchtime (mine that is) the other day to buy my boat dash and was killing time so I drove by to see if your garage was open or if I saw signs of life. I know you have a different schedule so I didn't want to wake you.

Turns out that even though my battery did need to be replaced, The problem turned out to be the positive battery cable. I just got it from the local Chevy dealer to the tune of $62.00. Should be an adventure putting it in. Seems the fluid from the battery seaps into the cable and corrodes it over time.
