yea those ac delco remans are absolutely terrible, horrible quality pickup and icm in them. i installed mine and it ran better until i drove it and it dies almost immediately. i got no tach signal while cranking so i just grabbed a new cardone unit and threw it in and put my original icm and a...
so i believe on alot of the older ecus (maybe not this one unfortunately) the baro reading is taken off the map sensor at the first key on cycle.
edit just confirmed that. pulled this straight from all data.
With the ignition "ON" and the engine stopped, the manifold pressure is equal to...
i was able to find a nos front deflector that i am going to hopefully install soon, i got the intercooler shroud painted and got the new pump installed. i need to align the front bumper then i can take it to have the paint taken care of. i got the wheels and center caps back from powdercoating...
Thanks for the compliments! I almost thought it was a aftermarket one but it fits perfect, i need to get the front wind deflector. I got my wheels and tires so hopefully i can get it on the road this week, i rebuilt the original power steering pump and "tested" it, it isnt leaking which is nice...

High low end torque (high low end cylinder pressures) is usually a killer on most stock bottom end builds. If your trying to build a torque monster some pistons and rods should be in your budget. I dont have to much experience with these engines in particular but have built my fair share of...
Here are the JTR mounts they look pretty nice and sturdy.
I've been trying to figure out what to do with the wheel situation ever since I got this car. The stock wheels are chrome plated and the plating is flaking on all four wheels and they are starting to get some corrosion buildup as...
