LS swap '60 Chevy Sedan Delivery

[2165 Turbo Rail]

What kind of IAT's are you seeing with the filter like that? I tried a filter mounted somewhat like that and my IAT's were through the roof.

the IAT sensor is sitting on top of the motor... i need to lengthen it and put it up by the headlight.

the GTO has the sensor about 6 inches from the TB and I just got the EcoRoute thing for my garmin GPS right before the round up so I could see that type of info since I don't have HP Tuners and the IAT's were anywhere from 60-104 depending so I couldn't even give you a good answer on the GTO either.

Dad likes the GTO fuel rail covers on the GTO so he bought a new Camaro cover. I did some trimming on it and got it to fit. I'm still on the fence about this. But. He likes it and as we can tell, that's what matters on this build

(the cover looks to be touching the upper hose but it is not and will not )

I out hydro boost on the GtO and on the 60 for right under $100 each

Damn ! Sounds like a winner !

yup put a hydroboost set up on it and its great.

we worked on some details this weekend and in two weeks we are taking it up to KS... dad's going to drive the 60 and I'm going to drive the GTO

I'm trying to talk him into trailering the 60 JUST IN CASE I find a car or truck up there that i want to buy

Lol, that's good. What's the hydroboost cost ? You sell the Galaxie yet ?

On the older 0411 pcm I would much rather tune them SD. It saves some money because you eliminate the o2 sensors and maf.
I like the control I have over the a/f at all times. It takes a lot of experience (200+ cars) to be able to tune SD the correct way. Not many people know how to tune them. Out of all the 20+ lsx tuners in the DFW area there really are only 2-3 guys who can tune SD the correct way. As far as im concerned there are only 2-3 tuners in the area. The other guys simply fuck( honestly the easiest way to say it) computers up and charge insane amounts of money for an hours worth of actual work.
I tune because I have a passion for it. I simply love it. Even on the bad days I wouldnt trade it for a 9-5 job behind a desk in cold a/c.

Good info, thanks Sam!
Obviously I dont know jack shit about tuning, just had no idea the SD tune could be so much better given what the LSX motors are already capable of.

Any benefit to running speed density instead of keeping the stock MAF? Or is it just easier and just tune it out?
