Default 1st impressionns of the 370

Still have a lot of tuning to do. The 2800 stall flashes to 2700-2800 off idle. The 5.3 could only flash it to 2200. The turbo hits 5 psi at about 8 mph, then the tires break loose. With the 5.3 the tires would not break loose until 40 mph unless I brake stalled it. Traction is now a big issue. I have only ran it up to about 4 grand at about 75 % throttle. It feels strong. The boost is turned down from 8 to 7 psi. Gonna eat and then come back and swap the fuel pump and tune some more. More updates will follow soon.

Long story on how I ended up with the 370. I'll fill you in on the dirt later. Bought it from a guy in Mn. Short block. I already had 6.0 heads.
