here is roughly my price list:
motor, trans, computer, wiring - 1700
engine rebuild - 800
bigger turbo - 300
built tranny - 800
better torque converter 500
new computer chip - 100
new 50 lb. injectors - 300
huge front mount IC - 600
custom length driveshaft - 100
new aluminum radiator - 200
That is $5400 and im sure i can come up with the rest if you really want all the nickel and dime stuff. my next 2 grand is going to be having the heads ported, bigger cam, bigger valves, and a re-stalled torque converter. I ran a 12.1 on my current combo, and that was with the clutches in the tranny slipping, and launching with 1-2psi boost. new combo i should be able to launch with around 5-10 psi and have it shifting firm.
what the he|| is a LE2?? never heard of that before
damn that sucks.
get a junkyard motor. start building that thing up or just swap them yourself.
it's not that expensive if you just do it yourself (compared to replacing the car or paying a shop to fix it)

Yea i am using the GN PCM, so no tuning software is required, i kinda wish i had a way to tune it myself though that way i could know that my car was 100% perfect. i only dyno'd it once last year on 18 psi boost and it made 277 rwhp and 350 rwtq. that was on a mustang dyno (-15%) and i had a lose converter that wasn't locking up at that time, so the real numbers were probably like 350 hp and 400 tq.
$3,000 for tuning software sucks ba||s. for that price i would have switched all my sensors over and put a ford computer on there and then had a SCT dealer tune it. I am probably going to be doing this to my car sometime in the near future :)
1987 Buick Grand National drivetrain in my 1993 Pontiac Firebird. PT53 turbo, 212/212 comp cam, 3400 lockup converter, stock heads, Precision bar & plate FMIC with 3\" piping, 1994 z28 rearend, hotwired walbro 255 fuel pump, Nitto drag radials
i decided against the swap, too much of a hassle. I decided on selling the 6er, unfortunately and staying away from the fbody scene for awhile. Then possibly picking up an old school camaro. I'm looking at this '78 Vette thats for sale for $5500.
I have a borla catback, bilstein revolvers, and an eaton differential if anyone is interested before i throw them up forsale.
Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
