Well i got the shocks swapped out they were completely toast. Luckily Oriellys has lifetime warranty. I also put the overload springs back in and i added some longer bump stops. Now i have some traction!!! I did a really nice long pull and it stuck! Soo now i finalky start doing some WOT timing adjustments. I am currently at 12*. I would like to get up to 14-15 then start adding meth and get up a little higher.

Naw i am taking things slow. Slowly adding the timing 1* at a time and watching the fueling. Just trying to get the hang of FI tuning. It is a little different than NA tuning.

You can go up 2-3 degrees pretty safely. BTW, I'd add the meth first, or you'll be doing it all again

PS I personally think FI tuning is a lot different

Look over on camaro5 forum under the fi section and there is a sticky write up and links showing Pcv setups for boost. They use the rx ( rev xtreme ) catch cans and I have one myself and its setup to work with turbo apps. Works great
