Do you do all your work yourself or do you need a hand? I think a 256et kit would be sick!!!

help is always welcome. Makes it into a social think rather than just working on my car lol. Right now I just have to start collecting parts, but the wife says I wont be doing much this year. I may be able to squeak a pully and a belt to go with my 60's.

wouldn't be so bad if i could find a set of 42's then grab that stage 2 tune... I also have the stage 2 file from my last balt.

Do you have hp tuners? Ya changing to go with the 60s is fine for me to do if you have a wideband

if you're going to be even remotely stockish, I still think that GMS3 was pretty cool...
Even if it is maligned by the HPT crowd...
User adjustable rev limit via gas pedal, and set up for a 50 shot of nitrous!? ~ how cool is that!?

IIRC some of the #60 injectors are problematic with regards to tuning (I think it has to do with QC, and duty cycles that the injector sees; you can differentiate them by the colour of the tops.

....

On a completely unrelated subject, I just emailed John Powell, hopefully he gets my email, and can take a moment to share his thoughts/opinion(s), here are the pictures I took of my fatigued OTTP rear mount;

this is the best idea i have heard in a long time. at least grab a zzp 2.8(with screws) and a front mount he. i have the hub, we just have to swap it over.

typically I agree, but the step sides seem to often get top dollar.
