Ask Da' Orange Hose, I bet he has some answers...

In PQs honor, I put the Da' Red Spark Plug wires on mine to match the stripes.

I tend to agree with this. I want to find the problem.

PQ, glad to hear you got some power.

Sounds to me like you got a bad tune up. Reverse is one of the worst areas of the map to tune.

Find you a good tuner to fix that thing up and live happily ever after.

My nutty ass car starts, idles, reverses, and all that good stuff just fine with 12psi from the Maggie blower on a stroked motor.

You guys kept talking about MAP sensors earlier...I thought the LS3 was MAF?

Good luck. Once the bugs are worked out you'll love having that blower.

I actually love it now. It will just be better later.

Both LS3 and L99s have MAP and MAF.

Have you talked to Doc about it?
I bet he'll tell you to put one of my orange hoses on just to check!!

Well, here is the best I could find. Not specifically for the LS engines, but you might talk to them & see if they will work.

These cars use a MAF and a MAP.

Crikey...MAP and MAF. Shows how much I know.

I was lucky enough to get one of the top three guys in the country to tune my Challenger. Makes a HUGE difference. I think Janetty is pretty good with the Chevy stuff. Maybe get your car to him if you can.

It as cool to get it tuned. And it's got the power. Just has that miss at idle that drives me nuts.

I'll get it worked out at some point. Maybe a tuner at the fest.....

You got gauges in the car? If not check in to an Aeroforce Interceptor and a LC-1 wide band.

Those two will tell you everything your car is doing. Got em' in my Challenger and they rock. I can see timing, boost, AFR, you name it.

I've got some install info/videos on my website in my signature that I did when I installed mine that will apply to your car as well.

Would be interesting to know what's going on when it hits that miss.

I'll look it up. I got a 3 bar MAP sensor that should allow me to get all those readings from one source. Cept the fuel pressure.

Well...a 3bar MAP will real Manifold Air Pressure. That's it. 3bar means it will read atmosphere (14.9 ish PSI) plus two more atmospheres which is a total of about 29psi. It just tells the ECM how much pressure the engine is seeing.

The Interceptor gauge connects to the OBDII port on the car and reads the data the computer is sensing from ALL the car's sensors. MAP, MAF, timing, knock sensors, the whole bit. It's awesome.

You'll need a secondary sensor to read AFR (air fuel ratio). I had to have a bung welded in to my exhaust and the LC-1 sensor plugs in to that to read the AFR. It needs to go in before the cat.

Ah. Ok, that makes sense then. I must have heard the second part wrong.
