I meant to ask you how the driveability is w/ Nelson's tune. Any warm start issues? Does it hunt for idle or surge at all? I really need to get mine dialed in--it's making good power, just doesn't have quite the manners that I'd hoped for.

Driveablitly is good with the tune. I believe there is just a little bit of tweaking to get it just perfect. Occasionally it wants to die when the engine is warm. If I rev it a few times and hold the rpms around 800, it will settle into an idle, and everything is fine. Its doesnt do this all the time, so I am just taking my time getting back with Allen because I know he is swamped with buisness right now. I dont get any surging at all, just a steady choppy idle with the cam. My 224 with the 114 LSA sounds badass, I can only imagine how your 112 LSA sounds.

Hopefully this sound clip works. Quality is not the greatest, but it gets the job done. HERE

Sounds good man! I think the 112 is a little choppier, but until I get headers and cutouts or nix the cats, I won't have that mean sound that you've got.

True. When I cap my exhaust up and run it through my magnaflow, it sounds alot different. Its alot louder inside the cab then my 4.8 was. I need somebody to volunteer to drive it for me so I can hear how it sounds on the outside.

Hey, just in case you were wondering, I made it home without anymore complications thank goodness. Yesterday just wasnt a good day for the fluids in my engine. We will have to meet up again after I get my small traction problem fixed up Oh, I was also pleased with my first Radix Experience. You just made me want to be boosted even more.
