Hello from Chicago, Factory Five GTM, 409 ci LS3

Hello from Chicago! I started building American muscle cars when I was 15. I have some pictures below. I have a Masters in Mechanical Engineering and work in high volume automotive manufacturing. Over the pandemic I built a Factory Five GTM with a 409 ci LS3 crate engine which makes just over 600HP. I used a Mendeola SDR5 transaxle. Last winter I went through the tuning videos on HPA and was able to tune the engine myself. Very happy with the results and very impressed with the videos.

I volunteer as an advisor for the FSAE team at my alma mater Bradley University and recently donated a few licenses of HPA for the students. The feedback from them on the training videos has been great.

I'm thinking about retrofitting an LT2 engine out of newer Corvette into my GTM so I can use the TR-9080 transaxle...so I'll be reverse engineering the CANBUS networks for the next year or so haha.

Mike
