Thought I'd share, I've been neglecting the VM crowd.

I'd like to thank... ME! For all my blood sweat cursing and hard work, and VetteZuki for the vid. The car is tuned finally, kinda, not really. I've discovered that when I get the motor tuned perfectly to ride during the day, it's about 1 point leaner at night. :hissyfit:

So I'm starting to see the magic of computer controlled FI.

Anyways, during the day it will cruise around 13.5:1 at a low rpm with a WOT at 11.8:1. At night the cruise is closer to 14:1 with a WOT from 12-13:1. Think I'll richen up the WOT a bit and let it run rich during the day, it's more of a night time cruiser anyways. Prob lean out the cruise another 1/2 a point.

The timing is set at 18 initial, 24 total thanks to BigBird. I was going to bring the timing up to 26 or 28, but after I saw the boost guage spike at 13lbs yesterday! Think I'll stick with the 6 degree bushing. Having less timing kills some of the hp which is good I guess because my tires don't spin as much.
 
What kind of exhaust ya running, sounds great.

I jus love tuing EFI's. Be careful not to get too lean, ALWAYS add in a bit of a safety factor, what you see is not always what all your pistons are seeing. Find your sweet spot on torque, add more fuel around peak and hang on. I'm running 525 torque on LS1 with 5#'s boost, HP not sure, don't really care, torque is what makes me smile and the wife shut up!

Great job!

It's not EFI.

Exhuast is dual 3" mandrel bent, with flat pipes under the diff. Magnaflow CATALYTIC CONVERTERS and Dynomax Bullet mufflers. Headers are ceramic coated dynomax, 1 5/8. Definitely could use a bigger tube, but the Hooker primaries run into the T56 if I remember correctly.
