Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

Well, it's at the tuner. Hopefully he'll get it straightened out--CORRECTLY--and it won't cost a mint to do it. That seems to be my experience with mechanics.

Hope they find the issue, fix it and it won't break the bank.

Got a call from the tuner today. Hoping it'll be done--CORRECTLY--by the end of the week.

Tuner says I need bigger injectors. Running out of injector after 5k rpms. Funny, same setup as my 1st motor and they seemed enough back then. Going bigger--forget if the new setup will be 38 OR 42 lbs.

interesting. I'm sure the data provides that information. But, curious as to why?

I'm also curious as to why. Gotta remember to ask him next time we talk.

stock is on the small side, 28 lb iirc. i know guys used to use the injectors from the 3800 blown v6's in v8's due them being 36 lb iirc. from the tuners point of view. engines need what they need. so if fp stayed up to par and she ran lean wot, injectors need to be larger.

I guess I wasn't getting the full potential from the original tuner--which doesn't surprise me. Thanks @Scottydoggs .

So.....the tuner called me--finally done. Makes 355 at the rear wheels. Not too bad. Bunch of little issues combined that made it a pita. I should be picking it up Thursday. For what they're charging it better run flawlessly.
