Not too far away with the old's cutlass - The SS badge on the wheel arch should have been the giveaway though. Its a 1970 Chevelle SS 396

Have you done a rolling launch using the R-Tech brake and boost settings which I added to your mapping?

I heard another tuner told you it could not be done??? PMSL.... They aint got a clue what I can do av they?.. :smug:   They are even telling members that launch control cannot be done with oem ecus and we are full of BS?   I cannot wait to get my AUM back on the rod, just placed an order for my new H-beam rods, when its back up and running I will be working on a 3 stage launch control using every limiter in the ecu..lol watch this space.

I will get your car on a dyno dynamic rolling road next week to finish the timing mapping and get a final power run...300bhp???

I haven't yet - I keep forgetting its there... I will go out tonight for a play though! I think I'll try get hold of a newer N75 aswell as I think that one might not be perfect still! Fingers crossed we can nail the 300hp I think Welly is running quite well now although its all gone a bit quiet over on SCN...


Thanks for the comments everyone :)

Love these in black with silver stripes!What colour you going for?
Was you lucky enough to get 4 on the floor?Or you on the column?
I have loads of contacts for spares if you ever get stuck.
B & H Auto Centres

Being one of them.
I needed a wiper motor for a 1953 Buick special straight 8(vacum operated) the guys had me one in the uk in 5 days!
I also needed a starter motor for a Plymouth Fury police car i had and they got me one of them in 3days!
Great lads they are.

Mine is an auto but floor shifter with factory buckets. Its in the original (ish) colour, light blue with black stripes.

Fortunately my dad owns Stateside Autoparts so bits I need for it I can get pretty sharpish too ;)

I can't drive the car till im 25. I use to go to a lot of american car meets but they just got repetitive and the cars just got worse. America is where the decent shows happen.

Anyway, decided to have a play with something a bit different:
