I'm not sure the ego's in the group could handle that.

I just might do that one of these days. If I do, I'll buy something like this mule you picked up and beat the SNOT out of it.

I've got a little work left to do on the house, so it may be a while. ha

No one I know except you!

I've loved this Detomaso Mangusta since I first saw it... inspired me on my Camaro. For better or worse.



And I want to put an SB2 in a Pantera someday.

The blue Race car is Milo out of SoCal
We used to see him run the historics at Laguna
but it has been a few years. The guys in Europe have
a bunch of Detomaso race cars. A few of my Pantera buddies
go to Vintage Lemons every other year where there are some
really cool race cars running. On my bucket list to go watch

This blue thing is sickness! It's all business!

Yo, Dave, a quick favor: Does your LS3 have a Mass Air Flow sensor? If you're not sure, just start at your throttle body, then work to the air filter. If there's no wired connection in there, you're speed density. If there's a wire, you probably have a MAF, or at least one being used for the air temp measurement (IAT). The reason I ask is that I'm contemplating a speed density tune to get the stupid Falcon running tolerably. Thanks!

I do have a MAF on the Nova so I do know what they are.

Looks like speed density to me. ?

Thanks for looking, Dave! I'll be plying some severely amateur HP Tuners tuning very soon, as speed density seems to be favored by those who actually whoop on their stuff, whereas MAF tunes seem to be preferred by the cruiser set. I've not built a cruiser. The internet gets you to at least "enthusiast" status with anything very quickly . . .

Be careful there buddy ---- lots of folks have decided to be tuners and ruined motors and they're gone in a hurry! Glazed cylinders - washed out rings - and lean burned up ring lands etc.

I know nothing about the tuning program you're using -- but just a heads up.

Ain't that the sad truth. We are all weak sauce.
