Im not blaming Justin for it, but I think its something that needs to be tuned in person. For him to look at logs, make changes, send em to me, me send back etc cantake a week or 2 to complete. Theirs no way he can spend just a set few hours trying to nail it out. I think its ones of those things that needs someones direct attention for a day to figure it out.

Im fairly sure Im gonna trailer it over the border to New Era, however, I just bought a new house, and want to sell my old one before I go wasting money on a truck
Give Champion a call. Sponsors on Tech. Local-ish to you, finalized the tune on my truck, pretty happy with it. They did hold the record for fastest IRS vette back in 08 or 09 so that says something.

Yah im not expecting perfection. However, in 7 or 8 years I ahve put on 12,000 KM on it, which is like 7000 miles, so Im not super concerned about amazing drive ability. As long as it will idle ok i'll be happy.

Well after 2 tuners, and lots of wasted money we have concluded the Fast setup is dog ****.

So many report issues, so many reported driveability issues, I don't know how they continue to sell them. IMO they would only work good in a mild engine build. Yes they make great power, but you put a aggresive h/c combo and driveability takes a massive ****.

I still haven't heard anything bad about the LSX/R. I think they just half-assed the truck version.

Sucks man, just went through the entire thread and was hoping for a good resolution. Looks like you just got boned on a **** intake instead.

As long as you seal it and use a cam with good vacuum you will not have issues

I beg to differ my friend.

Mine has no leaking issues now, just far to aggressive to idle. IMOon a more stock truck ti would probably work, and I wouldn't even bother using a FAST 102mm...get a 90ish mm and I bet it would be OK.

The combo of the intake and TB is what is the issue, Im just sooooo far past trying to get it to work i wont bother using a smaller TB.

You're doing it wrong, just keep the truck WOT.

Just got my hands on an lsxr... hope it works out!

The standard car ones work great, just not the huge truck one lol

Definite drop in power back to stock, it sucks. BUT truck drives great and is super usable. Ive got a nnbs intake, and gonna get a 90mm edelbrock and give that a nhot
