Wow. You guys need to do some research. VVT chargers are a PITA to tune on a dyno unless you load them properly. An LB7 is not as bad to tune without a load, but still needs to be in the correct gear...

There was a Dmax there running 12.3's!

Good to hear.

Hemi's taste like chicken.

Update:

MA had the pistons cut and the motor is out at the machine shop getting balanced. I'm getting all new bearings and new rings along with the head gaskets and head studs. I might get to...

I am lowering the compression by opening up the bowl in the piston a little and removing some surface from the deck of the piston. I'm using the thickest stock head gaskets from GM and they are only...

The smoke was caused from low compression from the bent rods. Normally, a Duramax piston will stick out above the deck of the motor from .009 to .011 inch. All 8 of my pistons were below the deck. ...

Fords suck

An 06 LBZ with the 6 speed Allison will dyno at 300 rwhp right off the showroom floor. Carbon04 just purchased a 07 model LBZ.

Anyway...a transgo jr shift kit for about $250 and a Bully Dog or...

intermediate shaft...mine is doing the same thing.

Wow, a train whistle in an f body....kewl.
