I'm pumped up...

Had another dyno tune today.
Gained 15hp/20tq on the beast.

The LT's must have made the car run rich, we leaned it out and boy did it pick up. Plus the shift points were on the low side so we bumped it up higher. I bet in good weather the car will do 11.8's.

I will find out when the ThunderShoot out comes.

Well, I can't say for really but I can tell you it was cheap.
Normal dyno tune runs about $350-$400 for LT1's.

All tuning was done at Ed Wright shop.

This man knows his stuff.

Looking forward to coming down.

I'm thinking I'm going to run in two classes now.
Brackets and the MS/A class.
I paid for the brackets already, I will wait and see how the MS/A class is looking. I'm pretty sure I will get my butt handed to me in the MS/A class but it will be fun anyway.

See you Saturday for sure, I should be coming in Friday night for the TnT session and just staying at the track Friday night.

Ken You'll be safe coming on down. Looking forward to meeting you. I put some new tires on my ride for the bracket race but they are to big to try to run fast on. They are 27x11.5x15's. Your new dyno numbers are killer for a stock head Lt1. If you run 11.60's I guess you'll just pull the tires off of the motorhome and make No Problem raceway your new home.lol Frank95z
