Default finally got my **** box running after over 1.5 years.

my flexplate came apart and took out a bunch of **** on new years eve of 2010 when i was home on leave, so i had to fly back to california and leave the car in victoria until a few months ago when i got stationed in san antonio.

i put LS3 heads on my LQ4 with .040 gaskets and a 226/231 .600.600 114 comp cam. i also had my street fighter 3500 rebuilt to factory specs. from what i can tell, it's a great converter for the money.

1st startup

1st test drive

after a 2 mile cruise and a bath

it runs amazingly considering the fact that i havent changed the IFR tables for bigger injectors... havent even hooked the laptop up to it yet!

you put in bigger injectors and didnt tune for them? sounds like a good way to ruin a new motor
