Well, you have two high-profile launches next year that require V8s: Corvette and K2XX trucks. So whichever one launches first will probably usher in the new V8s.

Good point. Not sure why I didn't think of that.

Hey Fen, on those new trucks any chance of a 2DR Tahoe? Basically a modern version of the old K5 Blazer?
I order one of those if they made it. I'd hate to do it, but I would even trade in the Sonoma and Equinox for one.

Brand-new full size trucks/SUVs to be released throughout next year. Midsize redesigned Colorado to follow in 2014.

Is that tach correct? Idle at 2,000 and easily pegging at 8,000???

Needs lowering. Just sayin'

No the tach reading from the Video4 is doubled. I used a value of 1 when I should have used .5

I never thought I would say this, but the left rear corner is too low. Bouncing off the turtle backs the left rear is going into a bind position. I should have known better, but I wanted to get to the perfect corner weight and cross weights. I did know better and we'll get it corrected.

Lingenfelter is selling more motors because of that sound than they ever expected. We'll that and the L/28 accelerates like cannon ball shot from a cannon.

There is no such thing as scary fast. It is a myth. Loss of traction can be scary.
