[QUOTE=OutlawDrifter;7241770]are you guys tuning with ebl flash or similar? i assume your using a speed density 90-92 factory ecu. i'm planning on building a new family truckster in the near future, and i was going to go ls, but after seeing the first tpi, i got nostalgic pains for a long runner sbc![/QUOTE

OD,
I'll have Double E, respond to the tune. I understand the LS/SBC quandary. It probably would have been the trendy thing to do to install an LS. (which I think are great engines, I have an LS7), but we decided to move the clock up about 10 or 12 years and ask ourselves, what would GM do if they were building a new C10? So,a warmed up TPI setup, with 700R4, factory cruise, etc was the direction we choose. And, I think a TPI looks better than an LS. Different strokes.
