very cool. I don't have a problem with IACs or anything like that lol. I typically have always used DBW throttle bodies, super easy to dial in idle and cold/hot starts.

But in my particular situation, running a cam with 109LSA and a lot of advertised duration, it doesn't really like to idle below 800ish rpms. I did have it idling really well around 900rpms. But cold starts needed a little bit of help with throttle input for a minute or so before it would idle well. But, being that I don't have an IAC, once I put it in gear it will die without the extra air the IAC provides LOL.

So, in my situation, its just easier to have idle set at 1100ish rpms. It'll cold and hot start just fine on its own, and once I put it in gear the idle drops to just above 900 rpms. So it sounds sick at the redlight, in gear with my foot on the brake LOLOL.
Lol. Suicide machine. I like it. 👍

You can resolve the stalling when you put in gear with the timing table and after start enrichments. If interested PM me your tune file.

Why did you put DOT 4 in a system designed for DOT 3?
DOT 4 works fine as a replacement for DOT3, it has a higher heat rating. DOT 5 is silicone based and wouldn't play well in it.

I appreciate the offer my man, I got it all sorted out now (y) Teething pains getting a new system up and going.

Took it to my buddies place while data logging. He has a 5.3 swapped 84 Trans Am.

Traction doesn't exist with these old sh*t 205 white walls.

We test fit Jake's 275/60R15 drag radials. A little fender rolling for some feel good clearance, but they fit perfectly.

Once I find the best deal on a set I'll order them, and some new 195s for the front or something.

'Tuna No Crust' ??wtf??

Can you say 'exploded 7.5' lol.

You put a sticky on there and launch it hard - don't be surprised if you see an axle ;)

I don't expect this differential to live lol.

Ordered some suspension stuff, and everything to make all the steering junk new.

The plan is to yank a LSD 8.8 w/ disk brakes from the local yard to put out back

Installed these from speedway. I replaced the shocks with AC Delco units, nothing special.

The rest of the front suspension stuff should be showing up this week.

hoping to make it to a test and tune in June.
