Right on buddy!!!
Thanks, this would be the best way I would think to do it...
I may have to give them a call, and see what they can do. Do you know how much they charge to dyno tune it??
Thanks so much man!!!

Sorry guys, I had to edit out some of the non-sponsors. We have plenty here that do a great job.

But none are located in MN with a AWD dyno. They don't even have tuning software fo domestic vehicles. I see no need to remove the name.

Yeah, I would have to agree with you man, but I dont want to get booted off here. Besides, I already wrote them all down, and visited their websites, and saved them!
No one can come on my computer and edit them!!!!!
So drkphx, do you drive that beautiful bird on the street, or is it a track queen?? I would love to meet up with you sometime and check out that kickass car of yours!

Thanks for the compliment. Yes I drive the car on the street. I put over 200 miles this weekend driving it with the t-tops off. I drive it to and from the track.
Now that the weather is nice, I will be driving it alot more.

Because the guidelines are guidelines and are there for the sponsors benifit. These rules have been in place since we were part of LS1Tech in the early days.

Sweet man! My car is a daily driver above all else... well when I can keep it on the street. My motor just seems to be tearing everything up in the car. I guess you will have that.

So what are the details of the drivetrain? I see you have a hopped up motor, so you gotta have the supporting mods... unlike me.

That is half my problem. hehe.

The car is built for both speed and reliability. I spent more money on the supporting hardware than the engine itself. But it's worth the piece of mind knowing the car can (or should) withstand the extra power without missing a step.
