A shop about an hour away does almost all f-body work. They had 6 T56s there -- 4 LS1 and 2 LT1 (one of which was spoken for). The one I picked up had all the upgrades already installed (steel 3-4 fork, billet keys, etc). The only thing I wish it had is the viper output shaft, but I don't feel like buying a new driveshaft yoke... This failure was expensive enough.

I have a pretty sad video camera, but I'll try...

idle:

and the tial valve:

(Not for sound purposes, but the valve piston is pretty cool to watch... However, it does sound badass when it opens under boost.)

currently just an open down pipe. The sound quality of that video camera is horrible... When I take it to the shop to tune it, we're going to connect a GMMG catback to it. We'll have a real video camera up at the shop for tuning.

Tim Rotter from Redline Performance in the STL area. He's tuned just about everything you can think of (blower, turbo, N/A, FAST, DFI, BS3, stock PCM, etc). He pays attention to every detail and will spend hours getting part throttle tuning absolutely perfect for street driving.

Even though my setup includes solid motor mounts, all rod-ended suspension components, and just about everything you can think of to make it not street friendly, I definitely will be driving it as a street car and getting a good tune across the board (not just WOT) is really important to me.

I'll be interested to hear how he works out for you. Keep us posted on the driveability and part throttle tune in the future.

Maybe he broke again and is stuck somewhere on the side of the road?

Nah. He broke the DYNO! Hehehe.. I just wish he'd post the dyno numbers so I could live vicariously thru his success. I have the same hotparts kit and I want to see how well it did The rest of my setup won't be ready till this summer so I'll just have to envision mine thru Roadies kit.
