    Chevelle upgrades.

    Well, yearly update. Motor still going strong, ending this 2024 season with the same short block from my last build above. Made a couple changes mid season this year. Had to replace a head as it developed a water leak into an exhaust port. So Went with the fleece cupless heads, stock out of the...

    All good, just broke the arb mounting tab again. Still ran good afterwards, infact the 51 above was 2 passes after the wheelie. Once we get that arb sorted out for good gonna hit it harder, hoping to better both my 1/8 and 1/4 deeper next season. Unbelievable what we’ve done with this car and...

    lol, it wasn’t. Had to abort that pass, honestly don’t think it was going to stop. Felt as if it was going on the bumper then bad shit coming, so I pedaled to save the car. The pass above was 2 later. Went a 56 then best of the 51. It had 40’s in it for sure just ran out of time and spun in the...

    I'm number 21 on this list already, just needed to update it. Only difference is the weight, lost about 50 lbs and my 80 is no longer electronically controlled. Rick Fletes. I made a separate post for the 1/8 list but don't have that timeslip.

    Dual Fueler issues, HELP!!

    Sorry misread your question before. Current is set at 1800 mil amp for idle and is getting that according to the log. I’ve varied this from 1500, which is stock for an lb7 to as high as 2000m-amp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dual Fueler issues, HELP!!

    I haven’t tried dvt controls. Depending on engine temp desired varies from 40-49mpa. As it warms up it’ll settle in at 40 desired, which is where I’ve had it set for some time now (years). Actual is about 160mpa and goes up with throttle input. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dual Fueler issues, HELP!!

    Just finished up a custom dual fueler kit for the chevelle. Used an older used PPE 01-05 controller and some of their lines for the kit. This is a low mount bracket we made in house to keep the hood on and used the factory LB7 fuel distribution block with fps and a factory LB7 line to connect...

    lly replace lb7

    This is an easy plug n play swap with the right modified Lly harness and Lly tune. You keep all your 01/02 dash/truck and tcm. Combined with the Lly ecm, ficm, vgt and electronic egr. Runs like a factory 01/02 Lly pickup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
