Default 98 Formula

Just dynoed the car with the junk generic tune. The car put down 437/407 running richer than sh*t. We need to pull a degree of timing out b/c of the 11:1 compression, and lean it out. This was also done with no dyno tricks, full belt, 18" motorsport Z06 wheels 12 bolt with 4:10's The setup consist of stock bottom end, 39,000 miles, GMPP LS6 heads, and a FM11.

I can believe that, it's a mean loud ****!!! Are you gonna put the gas on her?? I'd run you @ the track once the TNT kit goes on the formie. No street racing for me as it would cause a job loss for me. Let me edit, if you run motor to my 346 gas setup.

I may ought to watch asking you to run me as I may get a sh*t storm of replies as to how my 346 wouldn't be worth the gas it cost for the run. Just a friendly race. I was up @ G-Force the other day when your Pop's came by. He's a super nice guy!!!!
