We have a new update in review with Apple right now that improves on it. New main menu, 0-60 and 1/4 mile timers, quick gauges that lets you place gauges and graphs on a canvas anywhere you want and you can customize the way they look. It is on Android right now (no wait period for Android), so if you wanted to see screen shots you could check out the Google Play version to see what is coming your way.

Really nice results!

What was the final timing and boost level at? (if I may ask)

Thanks,Matt

Its a 6 speed. The clutch will take some getting used to because it has a little more grab but the same pedal travel as stock and is a little firm as you push down. Its great though because it doesn't destroy your quads.

The cam and springs I think are my new "noise". Sounds like a sewing machine. I was surprised how much adding the cam woke this car up both horsepower wise and sound wise. Just enough lope to let you know its not stock but just barely.

The Supercharger. I haven't really opened her up yet as I am scared I'll kill my car It will probably take me a few days to trust my ole LS1 will hold up. I did get on her a little and thought man this is disappointing until I looked down at my speedometer. The power is very predictable and the power band is great. With the Pfadts installed the car feels very planted to the ground so I am sure that helps a lot!!!

Overall, I am thrilled! Andy and Josh also fixed some other issues I was having so its nice not only to have all this power but to also have a fully functioning car again.

BTW 620RWHP is a lot easier to handle as a daily driver than I thought it would be. Once I get the clutch down its going to be a piece of cake.

That's awesome. Glad your happy. The sewing machine sound is common after a cam swap. On that note (I say this not to scare you cuz it's probably fine) and I don't know for certain the procedure used behind your new push rods. But anyway. I had a friend who had the sewing machine sound after a cam swap. He bought one of those cam and pushrod packages you see from various vendors, along with a set of cylinder heads and gaskets from them. As it would turn out, the pushrods they sold him were not the correct length. They were too long (IIRC) any way, after measuring with a checker and getting a custom set of pushrods made the sewing machine noise went away.

Luckily, I only have dual valve springs and a cam installed since that cam is pretty mild. Josh said its most likely those two are my LG's leaking which won't be the first time
