Man, I dunno if I've told you this, but I freakin LOST my LS1Edit.. I bought it the last time I was gonna do the cam swap for the tune and I can't find the box..

I have no idea where it went.. Bummer eh?
Yeah, that does suck. I have a friend that might be able to help, I think he has LS1Edit (or one of the tuning softwares) and he can just buy another license for each car.. I think. You might know him.. he grew up in Florence.. his parents still live there. Has a 2000 TA that he has totally disassembled right now making a drag car out of it. I am pretty sure he hangs around this board some too.

Oh, and what cam/heads you going with?

I checked with my friend, he has EFI Live. I am sure he would be willing to help you out with the tuning if you bought a license for your car with it.

Nice to see you back in the game Brian!

MR FIREFIGHTER. lol. I can't believe you went turbo on me! Maybe I'll see it at the track before you decide to change the setup. I thought I had saw you up there on a Friday night like 2 wks ago but it was Dave's Vette.

Cool.. I've got EFILive also, just the scan tool, not the tuning portion of the program though..

i will probably have it at steele in about 2 or 3 weeks, im still tring to work out some of the kinks, like the turbo is "oiling" in other words it leaks oil out the exhaust side of the turbo, thats because its feeding more oil to the turbo than what my return pump can handle, so i have a larger pump ordered it should be in soon. I also have to install my intercooler and get gomer to do my final tune. I only have it set at 5 psi right now and it feels like it pulls very strong!

Sounds like it'll be a beast Maybe in 2-3 weeks it'll be slightly cooler. I've told everyone I don't intend on visiting the track again til it's like 80 or 70 degrees.. which I can always leave my car at home and bum a ride in the GTO.

Since the last time I've talked to you I've had a '05 Civic EX SE which I kept for 6 months. Then I got the '05 GTO that Dad currently has; I kept it for about 16 months. He was going to build a 408 stroker for the Trans Am (it was down for 2 years due to the rebuild and a broken stock tranny). He asked me one last time if I wanted it back before they started assembling everything and I said yes. I've not regretted it since. I like the GTO but it's nothing compared to my bird! I've also managed to roll an SUV too. Totalled it out but Chevy's are built tough!

I can't believe your youngest is 3! (happy belated birthday!) It doesn't seem like it's been that long.

Damn gibson that was quick! Looking good. Good ol Jeffs muffler! They do pretty awesome work, just look at that Y-pipe.. Can beat it. Got all the issues sorted out yet? How far is the turbo from the ground? All you need now is another one on the other side to match.

its going pretty good, still got a couple bugs to get out of it, but overall its pretty good. I havent had any trouble with the turbo dragging. I got me a new project that im in the process of working on a new project I traded my four wheeler for a 02 Honda CBR 954 RR. Its been wrecked but its all cosmetic. It still runs, i rode it for a bit the other night but then tore it apart, in process of getting the plastics fixed and having it painted, while i have it tore down im also changing filters, plugs, fluids, all the maintance stuff.
