    Thanks for the complements guys. We're very pleased with how it turned out.

    As far as the hood goes, not sure what brand it is. We bought the car as a roller and it was already on it.

    We're looking to have the car at the Outlaw Street Car Reunion 2 in Memphis in March. Either going to run in X275 if we can get a class legal turbo, or in Outlaw 275 and just be apart of the show.

    I would think that is to activate the datalogger. Alot of cars have it set up like that.

    Yes it's to activate the data logger. Just keeps the driver from having to remember an extra step while the car is being staged...

    Can't wait till its tuned and we can turn this bitch up!!!! Got to get the limiters made and a few extra touches and we should be making some good hits! Now if we can get our local tracks to get some 275 stuff going on I believe we would do well in that!

    Awesome build man. I'm doing a similar setup on my 408W but with twin 67s... I'm also switching from Blowthrough to Holley efi. Did you use a basic custom tune from holley (one on the screen you posted under custom tunes) and just tweak it? That's what I'm planning on doing and then letting the holley self learn its fuel. After you set the tables to the AFR you're wanting does it tune the fuel tables to that even in boost? It seems like an awesome system and I can't wait till mine gets there. You controlling boost with the Holley EFI too? I have a leashed performance controller and wondering if I should just let the computer do everything. Car's awesome! You're already almost as fast to the eighth as my car was last year on 12 psi and a YSI, keep it up!

    Yes we used the 364 ls turbo tune from the global file and tweaked it. The learn function cleans up the VE table automatically in any RPM/Boost based on the target a/f. It may take several learn attempts if a good bit of change is needed. We'll get the car on a dyno before long to have to tune completely dialed in. We aren't using the Holley's boost control, we like the leash and it's "pulse" or "bump" capabilities and we aren't using extra inputs on the ECU. You'll dig the Holley. Very user friendly so far.
