LSX owners

Hi guys

Just picked my LS6 / FMS 13 112 / AF 205 upgrade up from the engine guy and :

bhp 470 + wheelspin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So unable to get accurate figure despite people sat in the boot to put more weight on the rear axle. He reckons about 500 bhp !

Not so impressive is the fact that the ###### throttle on the way home stuck at approx 3000rpm, so apart from the annoyance i could smell clutch and still don't have my daily driver back. Anybody else experience such problems ??

My wiring loom was the first made by a different company to the one Andy uses now, could this be a factor ?

This had been a problem before dropping the car off however resolved after 5/60, or burning the clutch.

Apart from that it goes like **** off a stick, DAX demonstrator 'you haven't got a hope ' :finger:

Scabaters boys and queenie
Have a great xmas, even you Dax guys

Re: LSX owners

Robert, which exhaust set up do you have, the GD headers and full silencer set up, no cats?

re throttle, do you have the vette wired setup, or the camaro cable setup?
