    My cat was a 1983 Monte Carlo SS.destroked 400 with a small nitrous hit. N/A it ran low 12's in 1992. With the hit it plunged into the high tens and by 1995 it hit high 9's. This was a lot back then. No turbos but N/A. Race fuel and suspension mods were the key factor. That car just was set up to race from the factory. Any more than low 9's it would need much more done but you get me. It had a cage for the time. Now it's way more strict. Giving you props and hope you the best! Only being helpful I hope??

    For $10 you can buy a Bluetooth dongle and cast a “dash “ onto any tablet or phone from your obdII. The one I have is an ELM327. You can customize to show any data you want. I used to use it to check the individual voltages across each oxygen sensors for troubleshooting and stuff. Best purchase a home mechanic can make.

      The torque app is what I've used to get readings like that. Its worth the few dollars to buy the upgraded version of the app to get access to all the things it can read for you. Probably we even trans line pressure if thats something that indicates slip Idk. Some of the best money you can spend if you work on your car

    Gets going and rides out pretty nicely for a slipping trans and some old gas. Even breaks traction pretty easily. Very nice old car. Question, where'd you get the wiring harness you use for the Escalade? Is it part of a kit that came with a Stand-alone ECU or did you have to have it custom-made? I have an LSX build going and I'm trying to figure out what works with wiring. My Caddy (which is getting the LSX) is just a few years older...and a car.

    6l80 isn't terribly complicated, you'd be able to toss in a fresh set of clutch packs. 4-5-6 is the weak clutch pack, not physically but environmentally. Oil flow through it sucks so it can overheat 4-5-6 whenever it isn't engaged and you're jamming high rpm 1st-3rd gear.

    Awesome car, needs some fuel tank baffling. Tanks at the rear suffer from centrifugal force keeping the fuel at the rear of the tank when they’re low. Did the aftermarket efi tank have any baffling?
    Edit: you can make a tray to install under the fuel sock to keep the pump from starving. Also Holley Hydramat would work as well.
