TUNING The BUILT LS6 In My $3,500 Corvette *Runs Amazing*

In the last video we started my $3,500 Corvette for the first time and it was very unhappy. The built LS6 is way overfueled and needs tuned to run right on the new setup. Chris from Chris Johnson Tuned came over to the shop and had it sorted out in minutes. While he was getting ready to flash the car Dorrell and I got the front suspension back together, filled the cooling system, and put the intake bridge back on. This was a ton of work in a short amount of time but we pulled it all off. All that's left is the exhaust, wheels, and hooking up the rear O2 sensors.

Such a nice build, this is going to be fun once ready.
