Default Good day

Hello all,

I just want to post up that I started up my project for the first time last night, after spinning a bearing in the spring. so another newbie on the board.

the project is a 94 six speed with 383 and a greg carol T trim an intercooler, alcohol injection, single plane, headers, corsa exsaust, and a host of other upgrades.

so I hope that I can soon be asking for some of the boards experience in tuning this thing

Thanks
Ron

I know we need to get some pics up but we just recently change over to the verizion plug in card and I haven't set it up for e-mail thing yet ( I was hoping I could get my wife to do this, ha ha )

I bought my kit for a board member here Leeland Desproch that had never installed it and Greg had me send it back in for a few revision changes. He would not ccept any money for the changes even though I was not the original purchaser. I can't say enough good things about him.

The tuning went just ok, I ended up going with the mass air flow sensor after seeing all of the hard work that Tequila boy did to upgrade his. I still have some work to do in this area so if anyone is up to the task jump on in.

Well it quite raining here in Michigan so I can take it for a spin after work

I was wondering if you were ever going to show up on this forum. Glad you finally got everything installed. Greg is the best when it comes to product support, I can't say enough nice things about him. Keep me/us posted on the progress and I would love to see some pics.

Hello Leeland,

I read this forum everday at lunch, so even though I don't post much I read a lot.I also see you got your new toy.

I did drive it into work today for the first time. I have a few rough spots in the tune that needs to be addressed once I get it broke in and can start leaning on it, but it sure does sound and feel strong. I am going to get a data log on it tonight and see where that goes
I will take the laptop out to the boat this weekend and work on getting set up so I can get everyone some pics.

Ron

Don't sell the S trim short, it will give you more power than you can figure out how to hook as well. On a very mild motor it's been good for 130 MPH trap speeds. On C4 vettes with stock suspension even, so for road racing you will be set for sure.

So the first thing every one will ask is does this fit under the stock hood?
No, I have a toldeo pro.

Good to hear, I'll be getting the S trim up and running shortly.
