    A bunch. Maybe want to get Russ to make you up a correct file. Or if you like send my your file and I'll make the changes he's suggesting and send it back to you. [email protected].

    Sounds like it's running pretty good at under 7 seconds. What was it prior to Russ tuning?

    That's a lot of improvement! Russ knows what he is doing!

    Any KR or other problems? Was this back to back tests or different days?

    Here's for an F body but the cam install should be the same for a truck.

    You may have already blown your warranty with just the tune. Might as well go ahead with a full length set of headers, high flow cats and mufflers.

    Might ask others but I think tuning has voided your drive line warranty even when returned to stock.

    Not on your vehicle, but the 2010+ Camaros have a flash counter. Also same with the Duramax as far as I know.

    If you want FI, do that with Meth, no reason without.

    You could probably fill it with E85 and get the same gains and get your E85 tables tuned for max use of the fuel. <Flame Suit On>

    As others have said - cam - IMHO that can go FI later (if that is your direction) and headers would be a great next step. Love the little Z06 cam in my son's 4.8 Sierra.
