No DRFT Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Looks good. Who's it going to be tune by? I have no control over drippie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gforce3s Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Im in CT, and have only heard good things about EFI Logics. They are who i called on some advice to see about the grimmspeed boost control, and if i should upgrade the injectors and fp while only doing a 16g (i had heard stock fuel would be OK...but sketchy), so unless anyone here has a bad experience with them, they will be doing it.

Moderators BarManBean Posted May 29, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 29, 2012 I would say to go with a killer b oil pickup tube, possibly pan/windage tray as well if you have the dough. Might also want to go with a process west TMIC (again, if you have the cash). Just my $.02, otherwise the build looks great. Any suspension mods? "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balrock Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 People have been very happy with EFI on here. I don't have any personal experience with them but I do not ever recall reading anything negative. Is there E85 in your neck of the woods? If you ever want that you will need bigger injectors. 16G on E85 would be pretty fun! GL with the build and welcome!

Gforce3s Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Checked out the killer b oil pickup and pan - just couldnt justify the cost of that for a daily. No suspension mods as of yet, eventually im sure i will get to that, nothing major im sure just a mid range set of coil overs. Im not sure if E85 is around here at all, ill have to look around. I use cam2 112 octane in my vette, thats at a gas station up the street from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
