I hope to return the favor someday.

That is very cool to hear Carl. Goes to show how awesome the people here really are.:lateral: :cheers:

Four unplanned work days this past week in Kingman, AZ was a curve ball that I did not want, but everything is progressing well. I'm packing the car tonight with every little hole in the trunk and cabin being filled with SEMA and work stuff.

Magnuson finished the tune on Monday morning. Andrew worked out the idle bugs and put in a super-safe tune. There's another 25+hp/tq in it but I do not want to hurt anything. There's more than enough power to get me into a lot of trouble in a hurry. The engine is an LS1 with a Lingenfelter GT2-3 cam, PAC valve springs, Ferra exhaust valves, and ARP main/rod/head fasteners. That's it.

The dip in the curve at 4600RPM is where the tune goes rich (11.3:1 AFR.) There is zero blower whine. That's a good and bad thing. It's great since it adds to the stealthiness, but that whine is really cool!

Looks stout, we are both outgunned in the HP department. We'll have to make up for it in good looks. :rofl:

I've leveraged my last name to make up for many more things than that!

Really?? When I called your house the other day - and was told you weren't home - I asked how you were doing.... "barely adequate" was the response...:rofl:

I only link this video on special occasions, and now seemed appropriate,
