Found that out a bit late some I'm stuck with 3.73 for now. Can the tranny be remotely tuned by you? If so, what data do I need to log? If not, any recommendations in the Chicago northwest suburbs?

I've had a few requests to post a video and we're finally seeing some good weather up in northern Illinois, so here goes. My speakers suck and I doubt that my GoPro will do the exhaust justice.

I converted my L99 to a forged 416 with a custom turbo grind cam for a 76mm turbo and I'm laying down 650rwhp and 700rwtq on 8-9lbs. I went for the cool sound factor as well which could limit...

AFR was supposedly around 12. Not sure how running lean would put more fuel in the cats but the exhaust will certainly be hotter and can cause them to melt. I damaged two passenger side cats (core...
