Well whatever.
I hope both of you can hook up with us when we go to Little Italy and the Village next Friday night.
We would all be a wild crew as I see it.
I would offer to buy you dinner but then I'd be out of money for mods!

Anyone out there actually done a C5 BS3 with cable TB conversion?
I am working on mine now....so far I have the BS3 installed with wire harnesses for the trans and engine. I have the intake set up....next is the gas pedal modification....still figuring out how to do this.
I also had to by a converter for the BS3 tach signal. Our dash runs on 4 pulses per revolution. .....The BS3 has a 8 pulse per revolution output.......still need to wire the unit.
Waiting on the PTK turbo kit: PE61 turbos on a C5R block 427ci, 2000HP complete fuel system.....installing now. many many upgrades
If anyone has any input .........help is welcomed
