    Fuel gauge to tachometer, clock to fuel gauge

    Alex,, I also used the LMC kit,, It was better than expected, very pleased with the quality and the kit was 100% complete. It has been in for a few years and works perfect. I would recommend it over anything else if OEM look is important. Also,, No cutting up any factory stuff. Chris

    Changing gear ratios: opinions/suggestions wanted!!

    Forgot to add,,, I run 411s in my dentside with a C6 and 38s, it is OK on the highway ~60mph but i don't drive it a lot of miles,,, Before the motor rebuild I went 488s and had gear remorse. New motor has a lot more HP, went back to 411s. Still wish i had OD in the truck.

    Changing gear ratios: opinions/suggestions wanted!!

    I run 4.56s, 37 Falkens and a 4l80. The 37s make the 456 feel like ~3.73-3.91s. Without OD it sucks. The converter lock up is a added bonus. Before swapping the gears,, look into a 4l80,, a lot of donors available. I use the MSD atomic controller and it has been flawless for 10 years now.

    New build 454 and the wife hates the exhaust smell

    Something is not right. Can you data log with the sniper? what is the AFR at idle when you smell it? What is the engine temp?
