lol. I don't even know how the 2.6 happened. I rode the clutch a little. But, I figured it would've been better than the 2.5's from when I bogged and almost killed it on the "launch" lol. Next time I'll just say f*ck the rear. If it goes, it goes. Just gives me a reason to buy a 9" or 12 bolt. And I've also got a Moroso CAI. I must've accidently deleted it when I was changing my sig after the new exhaust setup.

The LT4 KM, is the knock module out of the LT4. The LT1 KM is far too sensitive, and picks up a lot of false knock, which in turn retards timing. If you've got headers on an LT1, you basically need an LT4 KM. Since the LT4's had a noisier valvetrain, they're far less sensitive and don't pick up false knock from things such as headers.

I overlooked your sig. I just know of a friend of a friend who has an LT1 6M T/A with longtube headers (full exhaust) and a tune that went 13.4 at Milan Dragway. I'm sure the trap speed was in the 100s easily as well.

Yeah, I should've been running around that with a trap of around 105, or so. But, I was too scared to launch hard on the 10 bolt. And the outcome was absolutely horrible babied launches. I may have to go out and find a good road to test the Gtech on again today. I haven't even used it since I got my DR's. And that was a while before I got the exhaust done. I can get damn good launches on the street (well on a few different roads I race on), so the results should be pretty good.

OK

Try it. I'm sure you know that those are hit or miss on accuracy and etc., but as long as you don't put Gtech ETs in your sig, you're good.

Gtech's are usually 3-4 mph off. They show higher than what the car actually traps.

Sounds like your car would be a good match up for mine tspence, I was trapping 95-96 mph in 100 degree weather with like 40-50% humidity. Good runs though, usually the kids that floor it everywhere in foxes are just trying to cover up the fact that they just have weld in flows. I had some kid in a 5.0 try racing me the other day. He kept flying past until one time I dropped into third and stopped his pull immediately. I got next to him and he wouldn't even look at me.
