It really is the right way to go. It will get the car behaving better sooner and is a far more reliable/stable solution. If you haven't already, be sure to join the Turbo Tweak support forum TurboTweak Support Forum I hang out there but also learned a ton from the sticky posts and interaction...

I moved from a modded stock ECM (Done by Bob back in 2006 maybe?) with SD2 an while it worked well eventually it got to the point where it was just flaky. I chalked it up just to the age of these things. I am not sure how new the newest ECM you are going to be able to find out there would...

Thanks Chuck. I am sort of expecting it to be in that ball park since the parts are so specialized. Plus it should be done right with a block that sturdy. But I am with you in that it is nice to know something that "could" handle 1000Hp and then not having to use near that but be able to...

This is great insight and making me feel more comfortable with the idea. I hope others reading this will benefit too. I have a chance to build up a 153, but the car that is going into is really a street car (maybe done a best of 10's @ 127mph). It will be overkill for what the car can...

Hi All, I had been doing some searches about putting a 153 (on center) engine into a street TR. By Street TR I mean a car that was previously 109 based an has all that is needed for that 109. So Far I have found that transitioning to an On Center engine may not be that daunting a task and...

Here is a thread about a stock replacement solution from TA: http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/advertiser-specials/310141-new-stock-replacement-usa-headers-stainless.html

Scott, That product is exactly something I have been wishing for as I tuck away my MaftPRO, Alky control box and now maybe my 2-step in the glove box. The plastic glove box is shaped and size such that the wiring doesn't have a easy path when tucked away, and creating just a bracket to...

You mentioned that the oil smell is faint. Could it be just the "normal" leaks that the Turbo V6 has? one good source of oil smell is the leak that occurs on the back of the manifold and drips onto the crossover? Or maybe a Valve cover leaking onto the header? There was also a...

Are the dimensions for the crank available? Like is there a spec that draws specifically what the distances are like overall from front to back or something of that nature? This was definitely a lesson learned for me. Even though we got through it by removing material from the converter...

Did you ever figure out the root cause of this? I can share a story that ended up differently. After installing a stroker 109 into my T, we went ahead and proceeded to bolt up the transmission. Upon getting the tranny housing near the block, it seemed very tight up against the converter...

I think I know whom you are talking about as he had some great racer stuff there. This might be a guess but could help, I think his name was Frank and he had a TSO car there too?

Could be worthwhile to check the driveshaft U-joints for wear?

I think that question was for SalvageV6, and I am sure he will reply as he has good understanding but I will add my thoughts on it. I think that comment was meant for stock type chips that don't use the extended airflow metering. The Turbotweak chip only measures to 255g/sec like the stocker...

Just as an aside, keep in mind that you can get even more flexibility and adjustability by going the translator/MAFTPro route too. Both can use the LT1/LS1/Z06 MAF which can measure up to 768g/s air (with the extender extreme).......The MafTPro takes it even further by allowing Speed Density...

What Throttle Bodies will bolt up to the intake?
