The first one only had a few split second test fires on it for running time, the rest was about 20 minutes total of "key on" time while I was checking the fuel pump for prime pressure/etc. The second PCM had about 8-10 minutes of "key on" time and 8-10 minutes of run time, so similarly a 16-20 minutes total with the keyed power turned on. It's a power issue, not just while running.

Thanks man! The 5.3 with this LS9 cam is very mild compared to the built 350 that used to be in there, but the power brakes will sure thank me for that LOL! The 5.3 with the 4L65E will be quicker too with the steeper first gear I'm thinking, then comes the boost...
