Thoughts on this 24x alternative?
A buddy brought this to my attention because in the end my LT PCM just isn't going to do what I want it to. What do you more tuning savvy guys think? If he produces it do you think it shows promise?...

Dyno'd 475/434 on motor. Probably makes more since it pulls hard to 7100, but it doesn't breathe well above 6500 sitting still on the dyno. Don't mind all the chicken scratch lines. We were messing...
