I've noticed used truck parts up here sell for stupid money on Kijiji and Marketplace.

Selling parts off the parts truck is officially profitable! I've made my money back +$225 not counting all the parts I've used and stocked away!

The black sheep gates are nice.
I’ve heard the vs racing piston style is nice as well and is more in my budget

I’m waiting for Black Friday - I’ll pick up a piston style gate vs the diaphragm style

That's wild that you're getting such crap results with the China gate. For the money it may be worth replacing it.

I had the Monte out at the track last weekend and my c.2018 eBay "TiAL" 60mm is controlling 16psi on an 11 pound spring fine using an Innovate SCG-1 boost controller. I have other tuning issues to address the laziness... but upper rpm boost control is on point.

If you were honest to Eric about your mods and anticipated boost level...then idle fuel should be spot on. Engines I raced checked in with the idle BLM's at 122. Don't pull your hair out trying to hit 128. Over 128...then that's an issue. Post your SM numbers with the engine warmed up in Park.

I know the off the shelf 3200 NL PTC sucks for slip rate...guarant eed the LU is even worse. I highly doubt you can lock it, unless this is a custom built convertor. If it's an off the shelf LU...you'll blow through it. I ran 2 different LU convertors...t he clutch didn't last long locked. Eric can lock the convertor via his chip for you. 1st gear fueling will be pig rich on his default setting. I usually see 02's in the 830-850 range. I have vids on how to change fuel/timing for his 5.7 chip. I'd change high gear fueling in the staging lanes to keep the car on its dial if there was a temp/humidity change from the previous round. 5.7 gives you a 20 percent window for fueling...and Eric has aggressive mode. Just jump the low gear timing 1 degree and it kicks in. Getting these cars through the first 330 is everything.
