You've got that dialed in! You've got a good tuner.
Can't remember did you do a converter?

Thank you!

Dave (DSX/DMS) is awesome! No BS, Just Bad Ass Results! I pulled the car 1,000 miles to have them tune it (I did the wrenching) and it was worth it 100%!!!

It has a Circle D Billet Triple Disk 3200 Stall, Stock 6L90 with 600+passes, Rear Mount Cooler and SFI Flex Plate and Blanket.

The Suspension is all stock with the exception of the 15" Conversion Control Arms, Trailing Arms, and BMR Rear Sway and Front Sway delete and a Perfect Drag Alignment. 4,250lbs with me in it.

I added a 2-step this year off of a brake pressure switch so we will see how that helps the consistency. It may let me come up a few 100 rpm on the stall as well. Hoping that a few more HP and a little higher launch rpm with yield a sub 1.3 60 foot.

What rpm do you leave at? What psi in the tires.
I'm putting a cam in my car and new intake manifold. Right now car is 3330# without me in it I either spin or bog leaving at 4500 with a m6 4.56 gears 15 psi in the slicks

I don't remember the weight of each item but ill see if I can list everything here

seats front and back just 1 kirkey seat
homemade seat brackets
homemade rear seat delete
all the foam from behind panels inside
rear seat belts
insulation from under the carpet (put the carpet back down)
rubber stick mats on back of door skin
insulation from door panel
wiper motors and washer fluid bottle
front fender well liners
front sway bar and links
front crash bar (made chromoly bumperettes)
engine cover
A/C compressor, lines, evaporator
fiberglass pin on hood so I could remove hood hinges
trunk mat
tire cover
trunk insulation
weld wheels slicks and skinnies
rear crash bar
9" rear with aluminum drive shaft (prob added weight over stock rear)



I may be forgetting a few things but basically if it wasn't necessary I took it off but I dint want it to look like a teenagers civic... lol it still looks fairly factory which is what I wanted for now.
