I was in heaven today as I replaced my calibration pack (prom) with the correct tune for my build and started it up. It was only a short time to fuel it after the battery charge and it sounds awesome with SGC Stage 1 camshafts. Marc H put the idle up slightly too due to my fidanza flywheel and it is just right so I don't hear that rattle........he is an artist with our LT5s.

Sure, I don't mind but there surely are tons of others that you would be much better off consulting with. The timing of the motor is quite easy after the first time, but you definitely don't want to attempt it alone and I even did it a second time with the motor in the car (I highly discourage it, even though I did it) after I has some issues from another source......long story. Thanks to all the folks sharing those fact sheets on Registry even I was able to do it and you will be able too. You will just do like me and be paranoid to check everything several times. I can't remember how many times the motor was turned over to confirm my timing settings after degreeing it them in.

Best wishes!!!
