I know I would LOVE to have one with a 2.9 whipple on it. 10PSI with a cam and some headers with the LT1 at 11.5 compression would hurt some feelings...

Michael, I'll get you a PM together sometime this evening or tomorrow.
I weighed my truck on two different certified scales on two completely different days and states I believe, call whatever type of BS you want. That's what it weighed. It has been several years ago now but it was questioned then, so why wouldn't it be questioned now I guess.
At this point, some weight reduction in the right areas will have you moving along a little better. I'm personally glad to see you still at it with this thing.

Come May next year I'm due for a new/used vehicle. Something with respectable power, good looking, and classy enough to take out a woman in is what I'll be looking for. Vehicle will stay stock. Only problem is that the prices on new vehicles now have me disgusted. A freaking base model vette is 55k

Removed rear bench seat, seatbelts, small jack, and both rear floormats. That seat is heavy!
Need to see about removing this sound deadening that's on the back wall.
I'm not thrilled without the rear seat, but it's never used and it's easy weight out.

Thats a weak *** tune up. I'd have a minimum 24 degrees in that bitch with a couple more pounds of boost thrown in for good measure.

Just finished installing 1650 cc injectors as I wanna get out to a TnT at Sealy.
Thing was idling pig ******* rich, 12:1 once it was up to temp. I'm gonna load up a new tune to see to try and get that straightened out.
