Um.... yeah.... LS1's.... no thanks! I've only beaten one, don't know what was wrong with it! I think it would be best to check my AFR after the head/cam change before hitting the track. I'll tag along if anyone else is heading out however.

Wow reading this thread is horrific! Our cars seem to be dropping like flies!
Dodgie, when and where are you hitting the dyno? I wouldn’t mind coming along with my car if circumstances allow. I’ll fix you up for those pushrods too.

Can't get on the dyno untill the 27th of april at the earliest, and thats if all goes to plan.
I may go to the track before then, as I know my A/F ratios are good, just timing I need to play with (think my timing light is stuffed). May be interesting to get a before and after chiptorque, 1/4 mile time. Just I haven't had a run with my new set up yet, and im getting itchy.

Never went...thought it would be raining out there for sure.
Also blew a header gasket that morning, so it wasn't going to happen for me anyway. I am keen for Wed the 11th, weather permitting.
