New NA times
I finally figured out a fueling problem and headed down to Gainesville tonight for some TNT. For one of the first times, I actually did get to 'test' and 'tune'. Usually I end up just spraying...
It's pretty neat what tuning can actually do. I was running 14.0 @ 96 the first time out with my H/C 5.3L.
BTW, mods include:
220 cam, .630'' of lift, 112 LSA
#243 castings
Hooker LTs
Full 2.5'' exhaust
Full belts
Full weight other than tailgate and sway bar
3400 Nitrous converter, 2700 actual flash
Tonight, I had a new NA best of:
.048 Light
1.925 60'
8.363 1/8
83.36 1/8 MPH
13.115 @ 103.05
(DA was roughly 1000 and worked its way down to 700+ by 9-10 PM. 7+ MPH head wind.)
All I did was tweak the shocks... adjust fueling... and adjust timing
It's definetly worth taking the time to dial in your setup. I couldn't cut better than a 2.0 60' last time out and now I cut a best of 1.877 with my weak *** converter.
New converter. Dyno. New cam soon.

yeah we both had the benefit of tuning and getting some good feedback out of the runs.

Congrats Kyle, 14.0 to 13.1 is a huge difference from just tuning and tweaking! What's the new cam you are going to go with.

You would also need lots of torque between flash RPM and this point. Designing a cam this way is what I think would get you down the 1/4 the quickest...
