    Yes I think it’s that the tuner dude checked it while running and the ecm is reading oretty much same as gps. Maybe a mile or two an hr off but the speedo just keeps getting farther and farther off the faster it gets

    1998 z71 stroker build

    Ok i I gotcha now. I guess I misunderstood what you meant yes we changed the spider assembly as far as I understand it’s the same lb injectors and pressures etc , just like the OEM one , as far as the quench distance and cam degreed I’ll have to ask my friend that’s doing all that for me. I’m...

    1998 z71 stroker build

    I was not able to find anything anywhere that was a remotely affordable option for injector upgrades on this engine. From what I have researched there only a few options one is a ramjet setup which is insane to pay for, second was go to a custom marine intake which was even more expensive , and...
