Whats going on?
I was messing around with a friend this weekend and he has a 01 WSG with a T-Rack SLp headers, 3500stall, ported tb. I have a 00 Z28 with a set of AFR205 milled .024",MAMO ported FAST intake 90/90. Mamo cam 224/228 598/598 lift @ 114LSA+2 deg advanced, pace setter LT's, gears.
When we raced he handed me my ***, at the end of the run the car started with blue smoke then a hint of grey. I was looking at the paper ihad with my tune and my AFRs are all-over with 15+ down low then down to 11.0 then back up to 16.0. Would you guys think this would be the dawn fall of my combo? I mean i should have walked him but no. I did not spin at all its just that i have noticed the car has not been running like it did. what are your suggs.

WS6??
Anyway if you are running 11 : 1 A/F then yeah you are going to lose to everything.
Heres a scenario for you. I had a 408 stroker built for my SS. I had a mail in tune done for it and it ran ok, no smoking or anything so I thought all was well. I raced a guy with a Z28 and all he had was gears and a lid and he pulled me by a car and held it until about 135 mph. So I go and get a real tune and run him again and just in one gear I pulled a couple of cars.

The funny thing is, on this tune the car went a best of 11.78 at the track. after a driving it like this for a year it feels like the car is loosing a step in the way she runs.

Go spend 50 bucks for a few pulls on the dyno. Compare your resuls to old charts. I know after driving around a while in my car it starts to feel slow. So I dyno it occasionally (when it ******* runs) to make sure all is well. With my old 408 SS it actually saved me some issues that wheren't appearant.
