What is the boost at now? any dyno numbers for the break in tune or is it all street tuning? What do you expect from her hp/time wise.....and I thought those roads looked like a road we used to race on here in the gulf of mexico.

Built 4l60e in the 'L' ??????? Those things usually can't handle a stock LS1 much less a fully fuilt Lightining motor and the logistics to swap just isn't worth it

Love the vid man. Im thinking about going turbo(and into dept) when i rebuilt my engine. I'm not sure if it's worth it though.

Not to be a douche but is that gto that quick or is you truck just tuned real safe or not up to it's full potential. I expected you to pull it on top. Fill me in man, im curious. I'm trying to see what cars your truck compares to from a roll that im familiar with.

truck is on low boost and pump gas. still have the blower converter in the truck which is way too tight so i cant get it spooled very easily. the GTO is no slouch either. if youre looking for something to compare to, the truck went 12.0@124 a couple of weeks ago at the track.

with the tight converter you might wanan try riding the brakes a lil bit with your foot on the gas to get it to build boost... buddy of mine does this with his GN and it is DEADLY from a roll
