I have since added a magnaflow single 3"in/single 3"out muffler. I will probably take it back to the dyno to see if I picked up a couple more or not. I will tell you this though, its on the ragged edge as far as timing and fuel. If I get less that great premium (91 octane) fuel, it will knock and ping.. Hence the 5 bottles of NX octane booster in my trunk.

That Mach 1 was quick though. Nice cars.. I would probably get one as a daily if I still had my old car that was closer to a Road Race car than a daily car.
Do you remember your air/fuel ratio? I put down 332/351 sae post tune w/ the mods in my sig. I had a loose (wobbly) spark plug (not sure if that made a difference) and my afr was 13.1 after the tune. I was hopin for about 345 but oh well, not all ls1s are created equal.

Also for what its worth, i ran my buddies mach before and after the lts/ypipe and the results were the same. I dont know why the lts and y pipe didnt help?? sorry

Yea im kinda worried and really confused. The car pulled really hard after I got on it for the first time after the install and then i had knock sensor problems. Then after we fixed the knock sensors its just never felt the same. It feels the same as when i didnt have the LT's. Ok im done jacking this thread.

Both those Machs are nice as hell.Never mistake those for a GT!Its all about the shaker hood and chin spoiler.
The DSG mach looks garage-kept,very clean.
The Azure blue(one of my favorite colors of blue for cars)looks like a gear-bangin street machine.I can tell you drive it,no holds barred.

The tune is commanding 13.1 AFR. Your LT's should have made a whole world of difference. Im guessing that your KS problems have affected the BLM's and are causing the car to pull timing. Although it should have learned its way past that by now.

I would try pulling the PCM fuse overnight (or a few hours) to reset the computer, then see how it runs.
