Been out for a while but here's an update:
Slowhawk at DezRacing is doing the tuning and we seem to be a little lite on power. Currently 415/425 @ 8lbs and 2.9 pulley...it was running perfectly with no issues, but I elected to keep it there and put an underdrive pulley on it and get boost jacked up closer to 12lbs, hook the meth up (and into the washer reservoir), and see if we can't wake this pig up!!! The truck is fighting us every step of the way tho! Pulleys out of stock everywhere, came without spacers, 8" bolt in 6" box , no meth hose available...u get the picture! Power prob cud be the heads (any suggestions welcome) too mild cam, or 4L80 (in fact it might be worth opening that thing back up to see whats ticking, but it seems to work fine) but who the hell knows and after this long I just want it back (and Slowhawk wants an end to the transferred frustration!). It shud be good to go next week and I'll put miles on it for a bunch of months . In the meantime I'm gonna do more research on heads/cam packages I guess!
Please - everyone chime in as I want suggestions. R/

**All balanced and bla, bla...motor is solid and once overed by Slowhawk and he says seems well built...what else u need to know? R/

 

an under-drive pulley will spin it slower not faster, is that what you want?

I don't see anything that would indicate a problem motor wise, you sure the valves are closing all the way? (i.e. correct pushrod length)

 

Im an idiot....OVERDRIVE!

 

which overdrive pulley did you go with?

 

Dunno...haven't seen it, all I know is it came from Eastcoast SC...I trust Slowhawk to have chosen wisely.

 

probably an Innovators West piece then, that's where I bought mine. They sent me a bolt that was too short for the damper, anyway I PM'd ECS with the correct bolt and spacer info a while back, I have no idea whether or not they used the data I sent them. In any event if you need the correct info just let me know, it's posted on here I responded to a post Slowhawk made on the Corvette forum regarding your truck but never heard back from him either. Whatever I can do to help

 

I'm banned for CF due to my dispute with CHUCK COW (he's still sitting on one of my PCM's!). Slowhawk's been out most of the week....but we got the pulley without spacers and bolt, now got the 8" bolt sent wedged into a 6" box ...this build has been one serious test of everyone's patience!
