Stage two Patriot heads, UD Pulley, and a lil cam :hihi:
Then some fine tuning of the COS 5
I swapped the racetronics fuel pump that I been having trouble with with a replacement racetronics today, did not get a chance to log the FP though, hopefully that issue is gone.

Not yet Scarab, but I am probably gonna ask for a LM-1 for X-mas to tune it, I have DL the factory tune and snooped around it. The Vette and Nitrous has consumed my time the last year and a half, Howard will finish the vette and I can move on to a new project.

Howard got a baseline, looks like the new Racetronics is better than the other racetronics...
99 C-5 A-4 LS1, American Racing LT Headers (Cats and X-pipe), Shaner Ported TB, LS6 intake, 42# Delphis, Borla Cat Backs, Blackwing CAI, and tuning by me with a lil help of you guys on this board :)
Gain of 40 HP with American Racing LT Headers (Cats and X-pipe), Shaner Ported TB, LS6 intake, 42# Delphis from my origional dyno of 300 RWHP (from another shop long ago).
Here is my pre H/C Baseline.

The AVY got 13 MPG towing the trailer and Vette, and 21 coming back with no trailer.

Nice man!
Ohh, and Im serious about the Avy, even just play with the trans settings a little and remove TM from the engine and trans and it will feel completely different and much lighter on its toes (hard to imagine for a ~6000lbs truck). My TB (~4600lbs, albeit with a much smaller engine) felt like it was doing windsprints except all the time once I loaded the tune with just trans tweaks.
