Thanks Ron and everyone else helping me out I got a chance to run a few tanks through it and it looks as though everything is running real strong car idles for as long as I want and runs clean mid and top. I will let you all know how it does out at the track.
As for idle I believe this is normal but when testing the idle I let it just idle for about a minute and when I went to take off it was pretty loaded up but I think that is normal as when I went to take off I expected it so I eased into the throttle and it took a few seconds to to clean out and get back to full temp. Am I correct in this or is my LS a bit too rich?
Thanks again guys I now how annoying it can be to try and explain something that is so easy for you and the other guy just dosent get it thanks for your patience. I think we are real close.

loading up after a full minute of idle is perfectly fine...if your engine idles for a min and is very crisp I would say u are being lean. I would take being a little rich over being a little lean ANY day of the week!! sounds like you are getting on the right track and Ron just posted a very informative post about the idle/low speed needles for those that are confused. dont worry about being "annoying" theres never a stupid question just stupid answers
keep us posted and good luck!

Too true! I'm almost embarrassed to admit this nowadays but when I got my first nitro engine way back in the days I actualy had to take it to a hobby shop because I could not figure out how to get it started lol!

Ron,
what's with all the "Pro" hints? a little something in the "Werks"? lol if so, give us another clue. i can't afford anything new now, but by mid-summer i will be looking to freshen up my ride. if you need any more test dummies, let me know and i'll be glad to help.
