What happened yesterday I was at the end of your drive way doing donuts waiting for you and Ron? Don't worry about it the 92' is always ready!! On another note I was going to call you guys, but I kinda got caught up changing the front struts on the 92' because they where done and putting the ZR1's on it. I think they look better on the 92' than the Iroc. It looks pretty nasty from the back now.

You could squeeze 11 to 1 out of it and not have any problems. I think I got mine squared up tune wise. I turned the adaptive controls back on and it didn't make more than 3+/- on 90% of the graph. Went in and corrected the other areas so I should know for sure tomorrow morning. I know it cruises right at 14.6 going down the highway. Mike if you want to pay me then we can work something out. I really want you to learn and pick it up. Craig we need to work out a time to go to the skills shop and do the exhaust up. The rattling has gotten worse since I have been beating on it during the tuning. I know she deserves a long period of taking it easy. The clutch has gotten worse, when your getting on it the clutch sticks to the floor and doesn't want to go in gear.

11.8 to 11.1 as stated, but the dynamic compression is really the key, static compression plays a role also. If u keep the dynamic compression around 8.1 then pump gas is all u would need. Now if u go up in the 8.5 to 9.1 dynamic compression then u need the good gas,or meth. There is a 10 hp differance in cast trick flow then the ported and polish ones either way they kick ***

Just for you, the best head you can get for the ls when money is not an option in my opinion. If not these, get you a set of the fast as cast trickflows and have some port work done to them. They say there is only a 10-20 rwhp difference between the two. The $600 dollars you save would pay for some port work that would put you ahead of the 215 cnc's.

Yeah I'm trying to do some research. Has anyone used the sodium filled ls6 valves? I cant figure out if the stock LS2 valves are the same. I know valve material's are prolly not that important but even the little things help. I want to set my budget at $2,000 because I also need to get a intake.

So the car is running good...only thing is it's still trying to do an idle relearn so it surges when idling in gear. I was also told i might have to do some tuning on the Base Idle Airflow table too since it's a smaller diameter stall....does that sound about right?

You better get it right before friday because the 92' is coming back for redemption. Did some logging yesterday and saw that I was getting false knock, so I fixed that issue and now it's ready to test that stall of yours. Don't worry about that white cloud of smoke over top the windshield I'm just blowing off some steam.
