You really need to get over your "budget remorse". In the old days, you could slap on the add ons and "tune" the carb and get away with it. However, these days the tune whatever route you take is part of the cost. It hurts but it's the price of going fast with technology. If you, even begrudgingly, include the tune cost, you will get used to looking at it that way after the initial shock! I did a spreadsheet to itemize the costs for one build. Believe me, it was an eye opening experience when you see it in black and white. Then I had to add about 15% for the incidentals like gaskets. Ouch!!!
Keep us informed on your progress. This sounds interesting.
Good luck,

It's not the cost stopping me. I just don't want to go through all that's involved, and not being able to get it tuned correctly to make it all worthwhile in the end. It seems very difficult to find someone to do real time tuning on 89, but I will keep looking. When I do, I will then move on to doing upgrades.

Thank you very much. I heard about this place before. I looked it up and think I will drive the 75 miles to talk to them this coming week. If they can do it, I will get their ideas of what to mod

FX3 definitely takes input from the VSS to decide what to change the rate to for the shocks. ABS might have it's own computer but it might take info from the ECM. At least, VSS data too. Not sure what else. I was told that you have to change the Reluctor Rings to get it to work. The C4 is more picky because it has other systems that are integrated and not stand alone.
