    Just saw this about Rick Fletes!

    Lol that car is a beast!! 7.60’s off the trailer with more in it. The only way my car would even come close to that is losing 1500#’s. Then maybe, just maybe it’ll run a 7 or sub 5 in the 1/8. Unfortunately this car will never be that light. I’ll build another before attempting at taking that...

    Same car, it’s painted estro blue now, a BMW Color. Ironically the silver, titanium silver metallic was Bmw as well. Guess I like those colors!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Just saw this about Rick Fletes!

    Thx Rick, it’s been a ton of work and learning. The car has done really well out at UCC/ODR, then Midwest Drags. We’ve been fighting a fueling issue for the past couple years that we’ve finally are starting to get a hold of. With some help from Mark, he’s pointed me in the right direction with...

    Wow!! Ucc was off the hook. Seeing mark above so pumped with all the new pb’s is really cool. Watching all these trucks go rounds was awesome!! I even managed a new pb in the Chevelle. 70’s is in sight. Best pass of the weekend was a 5.81@120 1.31 60’. That was against crazy horse during the...

    NHRA Rulebook Question

    10.0 is allowed with a roll bar and doesn’t need to be inspected or certed. Swing out bars are allowed up to 8.50 cert if built correctly. Entry level certed cages can go up to 8.50. So if your vehicle goes faster then 10 you’ll need a certed cage. That cert is good to 8.50. Sent from my...

    Latest with some changes. LB7, 4500lbs, 400/gear vendors, RF Garage Went in the 70’s a couple weeks ago then again this weekend. Leaned on it a little more and squeezed the 65 out of it. Pretty much tapped out for this combo unless we get on a much better track. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Questions regarding SAC injectors

    With the right person writing your tune you can pass smog/inspection/testing in CA. With an LB7 LLY LBZ LMM, no issues whatsoever, just need to keep all your factory emission stuff on, intact and hooked up properly. Even with sac45’s. Or bigger for that matter.

    Can't flash truck back to stock

    LBZ Dsp tunes cannot be read. The stock tune that was on that ecm went away when he first flashed in the dsp tune years ago. Yes the dealer can flash in a stock tune.

    Can't flash truck back to stock

    You’ll need a new tuner to link to your autocal and write you a new dsp5 tune and get you your stock file. ATP is out of business and cannot get your stock tune on your autocal. So, the process to fix your issue AND end up with dsp tuning. Unlink from atp Link to new tuner Pay for a new dsp...

    LLY - LB7 Swap

    Anything can be done, but this would not be easy at all. You would need at a minimum an 03/04 chassis harness, ecm, nsbu, address the fuel gage, vats re-learn and everything that attaches to the lb7. Like what James says above, can you not just use the top end off the lly and put it all on...

    LLY heads on LB7

    Lly everything, plug chassis harness into the fuse box, swap nsbu, rescale fuel gage in ecm and vats relearn and your good to go. Or do the sac’s, we install those frequently in lb7’s and they work very well. I’ve done several lly conversions and currently drive an 02 lly (entire engine swap)...

    Chevelle upgrades.

    The kit that we added is run off this pressure switch. Once armed then it relies on boost to activate it and its adjustable. Currently set for 27psi, so essentially right when I let go of the trans brake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
