Well, after a less than steller time at the last session, I finally got my car done. Last time as most of you know I had some issues that couldnt be found and the car was un-tuneable. Finally its done. I must say, it pulls like a freight train all the way till my injectors peg. Which happens rather quickly now too. HAHAH Anyways, Lund was great to work with today and everything went very smooth. Any time you see your car on a dyno getting the life beat out of it, the best thing to do is walk away. As I did. Thanks for the conversation Lou!! Nice chatting to you again.

I will later get the sheet and file from mike to show the run but the car did

463.50 HP @ 5600
441.05 TQ @ 5250

The numbers crossed over at 5200.

As John said, there is a good bit more in it but without fuel it isnt gonna happen. With some 60's and a different meter I will get another tune next year.

There were higher numbers but that was during the tuning and it was not anywhere safe. I think at one time my injectors maxed at 4000. We upped the base perssure to ad a crutch like and thats when the final numbers came. To say the least, I am happier than Mike Jackson in boystown!!! The car basically runs like a stock 5.0 car except for the cam at idle and the power. Tip-in is just a bit off but after about an hour of fooling with it, its about the best its going to be for now. Just a very slight hesitation.



Thanks Mike and John!!!!!!!!!!!!

all you need is an fmu and you would be good to go .and those are great numbers for a 289 i'll bet it pulls great in a light car like yours

HAHA Troy, funny man. It pulls real well. Front lifts and it just goes. Did a second-third pull on it yesterday. It just plants and goes till second breaks loose, third is like a "money" gear.

For sure, thanks. I just wish I could have done the 60 injectors and made more power.

I am and also doing an intercooler. That is the only thing this thing will see for next year. I still have a garage full of parts to put on though.
