You know, I've had some mustang guys saying it wont go in the 12's...your truck would actually be a good run for me...if Gibson will come off of those drag radials so I won't spin so bad lol. I'll be back not this coming weekend, but the next...Maybe I can talk Vann into meeting me at the dyno sometime that weekend

I'm planning on driving a few more miles with it when I get back, pull the valve covers and make sure everything is tight, and change the oil.

BJ...yeah, that was the stock motor in Gibson's vette. He had his LS6 manifold, coated midlength headers, and magnaflow exhaust and that was it.

I wanna see what kind of #'s you can put down. I wish you had a baseline to compare it to,
then you'd know how big a difference you made. Tell Gibson to let me know when you get
in town so I can check out your work.

Ill try, but I think there may be some kind of Christmas thing I have to do that weekend. Not certain yet. Ive got another tune ready so when you do get this way leme know and Ill load it in and see how it does. Like I said Im no expert in the tuning field.

BTW- got the new rear done last week. It drives so much better now. No more whining like a beat dog going down the road and the rpms dropped to. Its kinda peacefull. Now I just need to quiet it down some and I wouldnt mind drive it a good bit. I need to get mine back on the dyno now the new trans, converter, intake, TB, and rear have been done since last dyno.

Gibson, when Mrs Gibson lets you go back to the track hit me up. Ill see if I cant make the Journey to. Its been good weather to go here lately. The LSX's love cold weather.

I'm hoping the cold weather helps me out a little on the dyno...I don't have any baseline numbers but DAMN what a difference all those parts made.

I was at the muffler shop getting the duals on and Gibson and I saw you go by in the ls6 truck. He called, but couldn't get ahold of you.

Vann - any guesses as to what your car would put down N/A now? or are you gonna put a nitrous kit back on it...when you get ready to take your car to the dyno, let me know and I'll carry mine down. I'm sure there are a few more people that would be interested in going. Your Z was almost as bad as my bird sitting in the garage not getting driven lol. Glad to hear you got the rear fixed.

Take it to Arlon and tell him you want him to build the GMMG.....you know you want to....that true-dual version of it is on here somewhere.

Not real sure, If I had to guess in the 460 range. Nah, no nitrous kit for me. I'll let you know when I go.

I would but that would only make it lounder and it cost $$$$ just to get the chambered mufflers.
