New video after issues solved.
I had a time last week getting my idling issues fixed, but the car is great now. Here is the new youtube of it idling fine.....maybe I could reduce the idle 50 or so rpms. I'll leave it alone for now though.

These are the current engine mods;
Vararam VB2 w/Power Duct, LS6 Intake, 228R .588 112LSA cam, Heads by Dennis Faerman w/5 angle valve job and mill, LG Streets w/X-pipe, High flow cats and NO MUFFLERS, Tune is mailorder from Texas Speed and Performance. Guessing about 420rwhp.

I just noticed that one of my videos is banned in some countries, pretty sure it must be Iran or some place they're afraid the men might be affected. I forgot France is another place where they actually limit the horsepower some vehicles can be sold with, i.e. a VMax with 200hp can only be sold in France with 100hp limited by the engine electronics, no kidding. Can't have any frenchmen getting hurt?
