Jeez that's nuts. How does one request to have you tune my c10 with a sloppy setup.

[@SloppyMechanics]

well, if you're within driving distance of allentown pa (depends on what your definition of driving distance is) and you want me to tune whatever you have, you can email into [e-mail] formally summarizing your project and request to schedule some tuning, at that point since this is not my full time thing and i only do it for fun, i go through the emails when i can, we figure out if its something i can tune, and then if it is something i am interested in tuning, and then we can setup a day *only sunday mornings right now* if all of that criteria can be satisfied and you are still interested then we go ahead and floor the thing

It spools up very very slowly, mainly because of my torque converter.. I'm guessing if I could flash it at 3500rpm in boost before taking off, my time might be a lot better

What's your 60'? I have a 4.8 and 76/65 and it gives me 3psi by 2400. Am also learning to tune myself. Cant get out of the hole to save my life, i see my 14psi limit at around 5000ish i think.

[@garrickduncan4576]

What year 6.0 did u say is the one to make the power like that was it the year 03 and up?

[@justplanefred]

I think all of the 6.0 LS engines will make that kind of power based off of what I've been seeing here. The Gen 4 style rods I believe is the style of rod that is more durable again from my understanding but they came earlier in the 6.0's than the other LS engines just when exactly that happened I'm not sure.

[@justin_parks]

Duncans Garage 04 and up should have the good rods. 04 is a dice roll, if it has 13mm exhaust manifold and lifter valley bolts it's pretty likely to have the gen4 rods

Rich Halsey very nice car sir. It inspired me to purchase a 1987 740 just last week. I have several questions for you. Did you use an 8.8 with stock control arm position?

[@richhalsey7067]

@@benjaminholt4292 Thank you! I built the car initially with the stock control arms but with the drag radials and as the power got higher, it began to rip the bolts out so I installed a custom ladder bar suspension in it. I am using the stock fuel hat. I did modify it with a -8 bulkhead for the feed line though.

Rich Halsey thank you for the response. I found you on Facebook. Sent you a friend request. Hope you don’t mind. My car will have a lower power level. Kind of a “don’t BS me” clone.

The best part of our hobby is that there's more than one way to the top. It's boring to see the same thing over and over and over again.

Minus electric cars. They are fast af but have no soul.
