I prefer changing the fan settings. via flashing the PCM. leaving the wires & relay. alone. If you lived close. I would be happy to update your fan settings. I'm sure if you asked. Someone on the forums. close to you. the member. would update your fan settings.

PS. Yes, my current LT1 has a stock. TB & stock fuel regulator.. My FP is 43lbs. last time i checked.

I have 8 BWD coils. from advance. using the TRT41 promo code. Also have Magnecore wires.
I removed the coil & rotor. made a stainless ring to lock down the opti wheel. Plugged up the cap with silicone. a stud / threaded sleeve replaced the VC bolts. allowing the coil brackets. bolting to the VC threaded sleeves. I did adjust timing within the PCM tables. the OE ~ degrees. were to high in spots.

tuner CATS gives you full access to every table. for the 4l60E. 45% of the PCM tables can be used perfecting the shift. you can also dial in. your ASR traction control reduction percentages. allowing. more or less slip.

Default Luggage rack for Vert

So learned the hard way that the hook points on the OEM luggage rack are not as strong as I supposed they were. Although the track is aluminum, the hook points are a hard plastic. I snapped one by tightening the tie-down strap too much.
So here is my almost-free fix:
Get two pieces of 3/4"W x 19"L flat bar.
Bend up four metal loops and weld these to the flat bars.
Mark and drill the three holes in each flat bar, corresponding to the track.
Slide the new assembly under the existing track, and tighten down with the existing screws.
Now any tie-down strap can be attached to metal instead of to plastic.

The finished product:

Is it safe to say that for every 8 lbs of weight eliminated, you can pick up 1 HP? Is this a constant or does the HP gain diminish as you remove more weight? So if I eliminated my 105 lb wife, I would gain 13 HP?
lol. Please excuse the quote : If it has **** or tires, it's gonna give you trouble. Lol. Have a good day.
