I'm with you!

Working on a 6.0L 500+ hp LS3 / LQ4 hybrid to use in my 66. Nothing wrong with any other mill folks want to use, but I am a powertrain calibrator by profession and like the idea of a modern control system.

I won't lie though - my last setup (350 / T5) was a hoot until I stripped the teeth from 3rd gear.
