1987 Trans Am -- 305 TPI -- 383 soon -- Flowmaster Muffler -- 16x8 ARE wheels -- Flowtech Shorties & Y -- Spohn LCA's -- Posi 3:73's (all soon) 1984 Firebird -- Tubbed -- M/T 31x18.5x15 on 15x15 Weld ProStars -- Big Block Plans Posted By: Pocket On: 07-22-2007 @ 15:41:01 Reply | Top | Edit Upgrade order: Safety: Make sure the factory brakes are working 100% or get a bigger brake set Inspect the frame and suspension to make sure its not going to come apart when your tear-assing around town Keep good tires on it Performance: Make the engine breath better Intake mods are usually cheapest and add the least Exhaust will show more benefits but can become quite pricey Better flowing heads/head work Cam & ECM tune - You HAVE to tune the ECM for most of the larger upgrades or it will run like poo Chassis: SFC's you need this even if you dont do anything else -- "If you have complete control over the damned thing, you're not going fast enough." - Carrol Smith Posted By: fbodynoob On: 07-23-2007 @ 17:40:25 Reply | Top | Edit i was going to adapt it to a carb. thats another question, as my friend is trying to do the same thing to his camaro, ditch all the computer crap. does the ecu control other stuff like antilock and lights, auto trans, etc? andrew Posted By: Pocket On: 07-23-2007 @ 18:23:01 Reply | Top | Edit 1) The "computer crap" is the whole point of the car being reliable. Research common problems and get the car running like it should before you say EFI is bad 2) 3rd gens dont have and never will have ABS 3) Lights are a separate harness 4) Auto trans, gagues, and alot of other useful things are controlled by the computer. While you may bolt on a carb intake and make it run better than it did... You will have to add a bunch more stuff before you can be completely computer free -- "If you have complete control over the damned thing, you're not going fast enough." - Carrol Smith Posted By: fbodynoob On: 07-25-2007 @ 18:35:18 Reply | Top | Edit He wants to drop a regular crate 350 in there. I kinda figured about the gauge stuff and his is a manual tranny, but what else is controlled by the the ecu? andrew Posted By: Pocket On: 07-25-2007 @ 20:57:54 Reply | Top | Edit A crate engine is a long block unless you get a specific one I can get a crate 383 and slap my TPI unit ontop Nothing new A better question about the ECM is what DOESNT it control -- "If you have complete control over the damned thing, you're not going fast enough." - Carrol Smith
