The tune is spot on though.. Car has not died or surged one time since you tuned it.. And it is most definitely smoother in the lower RPMs! VERY happy with it! Can't wait to finish the nitrous!

I eat the same stuff.. how do you think I keep my slim figure??

Poor ol' Jacob has changed **** so many times that he's into me for a ton of money on tunes already. I figured that I'd tweak his AF since he FINALLY listened to me on getting a good conveter and exhaust. If you'll buy a ported FAST 92 and a set of my heads, I'll redo yours for free too

I have always wanted to know your secret!

Nah, I think I am done for now.. When I bought it I said I wanted rims/nitrous/rear end.. And I'm going to stick to it.. It is plenty fast enough for my DD.
Now when I finally get cleared out of some of my debt and I get to start building my next car.........

Side note.... Do you do any head porting?

Hey guys! New to the web site and Ls1. I'm in and around Cullman. I got a stock 99 Z28 m6 laid up in the shed out back. I bought me a Haynes repair manual, signed up for LS1 tech and stayed in a holiday inn express all night. I'm gonna take it down to the crank. Gonna try and pick out the motor through the top side. I wanna rebuild with a mild cam, Long tubes, ORY, new valvetrain, maybe ported heads. Im on a budget. Im gonna be leaning on this forum for some heads up. Any help would be appreciated. You guys know a honest machine shop round here? Thanks

well i got big problems, Well i pull the top down on the motor this morning planning on putting new valve springs on because I thought it was floating the valves, after pulling the rocker arms off i tried to pull the pushrods our just to check them and the push rods on the exhaust side came out easy, and all the push rods on the intake side are stuck, i believe they have welded theirselves to the lifters. So now im not sure even how to get the heads off with the motor still in the car so that i can check the lifters. Any one ever heard of this happening before or know why this might of happened?

well figured out the problem the manifold bolts was to long i guess for the 317 heads or the intake manifold is made different but the bolts was so long that they went through the cylinder head and had the pushrods locked down, its unbelievable that the car would even run, who ever would of thought the car would run 12.3 @ 116 with the pushed rods held by the bolts, the intake valves would only open a little bit and would not close all the way. The new push rods are suppose to be here tomorrow and im already finished with the valve spring swap so it should be back up and running good come tom. evening. Here is a couple pics what 8 of the push rods looked like
