Curious to see how this one turns out. I would suggest trying to get aftermarket lash adjusters for the 272/280 regrind as the shims for them do not work. Bates and JBP make solid's IIRC.

Did you guys have trouble with PCM 4 LESS? I hear nothing but good things about them in the F-Body community.

OK that is good to hear! I was planing on going there once I start mods and they crack this ECM. Maybe I will get a chance to see this once it is up and running.
