How much power are you wanting to make??

i don't really have a set goal, i found some go fast stuff for a hell of a deal and I'm gonna throw it on the silver truck since it'll have the least amount of traction issues lol.

What are you going to use for engine control?

1970 Chevelle 496 Single 101mm Turbo . . . Stock door panels and rear seat. (It was easier to say what is stock than list all the mods.)
2004 Duramax Heavy Dooty, Edge CTS, S&B intake, MPRP exhaust

1965 Corvette Stingray (Dad's car)
1970 Corvette Convertible (Mom's car)
1931 Sedan Delivery (Grandfather's, bought new)

I'm getting closer... these three items should be here next week...







then all I gotta do is buy the equipment to tune everything.

I decided to go with Megasquirt
and I've already got my order ready to go... it's just biting the bullet on the almost 1K for the complete order. but i'm going to be running parallel with the PCM... so i have to desolder an old PCM and then use a cut up harness to make a jumper harness.

the reason for this is to be able to return to stock tuning if something happens.  here is what it looks like

Once you get it running give me a call and I'll give you some tuning tips about spark plugs.  The AFR's will get you close, but reading plugs will get you spot on.

What are you going to do for a boost retard??  Does the MS cover that??

I can setup the timing table to pull it as the boost increases. Or let the computer do it lol

MS used tuner studio and the studio can actually tune the vehicle as you drive it. So what I might do is let the tuner studio tune the truck and then once I get a decent baseline, along with the datalogs from the factory PCM, then I'll be able to fine tune it out a little more.

Its gonna be run parallel so I can let the pcm control the trans and everything else other than the motor

I can't believe you are still going to go thru with this idea....... I'm telling you, one of the many trucks you have needs to be stock...... Oh wait that is what you told me, muh bad good luck with it all bro.
