Ahhhh yes.

I'm doing the old "find out why you car eats up a qt of oil every 1000 miles" mod...

Judging by my dyno, it should be worth about 20 horses!

I have a tuning special going on for 2 more weeks over at LS1tech eastern section.

On gains it depends on what I start at.A common gain is 10hp/10tq across the rev range and alot better throttle response in part throttle areas.I've seen as much as 30hp/20tq on a couple cars.

nothing special really, just a set of ported lt1's that flow 260ish at .550. Eventually I'll throw a bigger cam in instead of the hotcam.

Maybe I have seen you around? What part of MA you live, and what color ( so I know not to mess with you )

Doing a few mods myself,
-Racetronix Hi pressure fuel pump with upgrade harness
-Comp Pro Magnum rocker arms
-Comp Hitech one piece pushrods
-Comp R lifters
-BMR Torque Arm
-BMR trailing arms
-Nitto Extreme Drag Radials

Larger injectors are up next, as well as a dyno tune to try to get things sorted out.
