Follow the process, I know it is hard, but your engine will thank you.

LOLZ.

12.1 at WOT is Rich Best Torque, aiming for anything leaner is foolish (unless you are MPG crazy and don't mind engine problems, a few lean spots at 12.5 or so won't hurt) and you can go richer if you want more safety, trading safety for power.

ADD FUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Call or Text me anytime, if I don't answer I'll get back with ya.

Tune needs to get ironed out, I havent touched the VE table or timing. Pulled 249 whp 195 tq on the dyno which seemed to be reading 30-40 off for each car, 3 almost stock 8's pulled 140-150.

I'd like to say I'm at 280 or 300 but I cannot confirm...

Once I'm complete with tuning I plan on putting down 334 whp LOL.

I am almost up to 30k on my rebuild I don't see it lasting to 35k, I plan on pulling it apart at 35k no matter what.

It certainly isn't... But I'm quite happy with the results.

I'm still not complete with everything.SARX is having a tuning session tomorrow.

Also I am going to revisit the Vband down pipe once the holidays are over.
