I just hope the 10 bolt will hold up for alittle while with that stall

And sounds like you are going to have one hell of a truck.

No tuning.....I didnt run it hard and I used the tune from the LS1 and added some fuel to it. Helk the cam should peak around 6200 and I was shifting about 5600. It should be interesting once tuned and I turn it up.

I am still waiting to hear from him. He is suppose to let me know something Thursday.

Damn sounds like you still have alot to get out of it.

And he told me to get back with him Friday and he would let me know when I could get mine done. Said something about they were getting a new dyno or something. But I'm going ahead and planning on going next Friday night to see what she will do

Yeah I think I might try and head to test and tune late friday night and do alittle tuning to see if I can make it hold out till I get my heads and cam then get a real tune. Cause I'm pretty close to the car being right just have to fine tune some things

no luck at all fastest I ran was 13.4 It leaves hard goes into 2nd alright but when it tries to go into 3rd its doing some weird stuff. I dont know if its because I need more gear or the tune is that off. I changed any and everything I could think of and nothing worked so I got to figure out whats up with that.

I was cutting 1.7-1.8 60' so I was liking that

I might mess with it alittle tom. But I got my budies SS in my shop he's gears are going out so we are going to be on that most of the day.

Man I remember you running last year the car was doing weird things on the upshifts.

I would be tickled pink with those 60's. Is that still on street tires? Any traction issues? What did it MPH?

Yeah I remember it was acting real wierd that one time but now its 100x's worse and I think that night was nothing but traction problem cause I would doing wierd 1st to 2nd shifts cause I was breaking free.

And I was pretty stoked with the 60's and I'm pretty sure I could get it lower I was running more the 20psi in the nitto's

But the track felt good I was doing okay till the car tried to go from 2nd to
3rd I made over 10 passes and I stayed wot on about 3 of them.

here my best time of the night and I let out when it acted weird and got back into it just enough to keep it in front of the other car

new from last year
60' 1.790 2.2
330 5.355 5.722
1/8 8.297 8.599
mph 83.29 85.85
1/4 13.455 13.222
mph 96.53 106.32

So the 1/8 mile is better could still use alot of improvement but its better. MPH I expected to lose cause it just part of having a stall. But i'm lossing tons of time from the 1/8 to the 1/4 and thats when its trying to shift into 3rd So I dont know what the crap is going on

I think it might just be gearing but I'm not 100%

I think you have something going on.....Your car isnt pulling the same even in the 1/8.

You picked up 4 tenths on your 60' and you were 3 tenths down in the 1/8.
I would think your 1/8 would drop at least 5tenths if not more. Seems like you have lost some power or something.

I say put that beast on the dyno to see what's up. Did you ever hear back from Scott?

Yeah I was think the same thing. I'm sure its all caused by the tranny. I'm just not sure if its going out or if its all in the tuning or gearing

I never sent him a message yesterday. I think I'm goin to get some 3.73's and then see about tuning it then.

I know its nasty out the hole I if I could just get it to work that way all the way down the track
