Re: 1971 Stepside LS Build

So how does it run? Did the tuner take out all of the torque management, enable power enrichment, and does it have a nice chop at idle? I almost want to add back in some torque management in my tune - the 1-2 shift is pretty rowdy and sometimes chirps the tires even under light throttle.
I have been babying it around obviously. I expected it to be more aggressive than what it is. It runs like I am driving the Denali it came out of. Smooth, shifts easy, etc. It does have a nice chop to the idle with the cam. It sounds like a hot rod but drives like my daily. After I get a little more confidence in it I will stand on it and see what it does.
