Default UPDATE on LS1 vette

Last DYNO TUNE 259 rwhp and 337ft-lbs (move jet size to 80s). With my loose non-lock up 3000 stall converter.


This is without the best fuel curve chip (DOUGH) and without the 1 inch spacer. That should make up about 5-10 RWHP and 5-10ft-lbs

I drove it and THE POWER is there pulls really good up top. The driveability is excellent. I need a gear bad though (3.36) or shorter tires (275/60R15 these wheels and tires came off my camaro that had 4.11 gears)





took a coil and a half out of front springs. Need to get shorter tire for the rear and the bolts to lower it.

Just as you finish one project (or not) the next "upgrade shows it's face I finally have 99% of my previuos bugs from last year figured out, now I have to resist changing anything for a while and just enjoy it

If he does not want them, I may be interested.
I am assuming you mean grade 8 bolts or is that also the length?
