Default Another (yet again) ecs build

I see ecs has been popular for the ls7 which is nice to see. A lot of people seem to have went with the Novi 1500, with 1000cc’s...as did I. Only difference I’ve seen is that a lot of people also used the ECS Stage 1/2 fuel kit. This is where I deviated, I ended up doing my own fuel system that is based around a single a1000 in tank return style fuel setup, fore rails and aeromotive fpr. I also put je pistons and rings in the motor, gapped rings for boost and had it balanced. Heads done, using stock cam, changed all barrings but Retained stock titanium rods. All that to say this, i don’t plan on running restrictor plates in my air filter when I get it tuned, it’ll be on e85. Anybody NOT used restrictors in them before, if so what was your boost level? Oh obviously I got a clutch also 😂

I'm using the biggest restrictor in it and I believe I got up to 5-6psi. Soon to go to the second restrictor.

yea went forged pistons as they seem to be the wink link outside of cylinder 7. But I think for whps I’m going for I’ll be fine, e85 should help also.

Boost doesn't mean anything.

Dial it in for ~675-700rwhp and enjoy. If that is 3psi or 13psi, who cares.
