I'd like to take credit...

Welcome LT1, nice car.

Thanks Swat!

I'd like to take credit for the pin stripe idea, but that's what attracted me to the car, the white with rid pin stripe. That credit goes to the previous owner

I've always been the Black with Chrome kinda of person, I was shocked at meself when I bought a white car.

Yes ... tuned at Baker Engineering

Another STS LT1... I'm going to have to check this out. Did you have the computer retuned? I'd expect a bit more power, did you lower the compression during the rebuild? Any track times?

Baker Engineering in Nunica did a chasis dyno, I had mentioned that the rebuiled per Jasper, the compression was approx. 9.75:1.

I figured that I could compensate with at least 1 lb boost from the turbo to reach 10.5:1 and then tune from there, hoping to get around 8-9 lb boost total, but he said it would be best at 5-6 lbs and would be a steady runner all day and not be on the ragged edge. In a way I did agree with him, I could run all out, but the engine blow in a short period of time.

I was hoping to see 375-400 range, but I'm really new to all this PC stuff on cars (but trying to learn), I like "Naturally Asperated" cars they are more forgiving.

Also...Baker uses HP software, which from a friends husband is the software to go with.
