Here is what I did during winter...I didn't touch the motor, I know what it runs, and because I drive to the track I decided to focus on a few weak areas..and also took about 80lbs off the front end.

* rebuilt the rearend, new bearings and seals
* moser axles and studs
* chromemoly driveshaft
* new front steering parts
* converted over to a manual steering box
* new radiator support, new dual fans and larger transmission cooler
* 5 star wheels, front skinnys, rear bfg's
* DynoTune Lean shutdown switch
* polished the ECM

Didnt your car used to be carb'd? Does it go better with the fuel injection?

lsxmalibu

iTrader: (50)

yes it was carbed. I dont have any back to back numbers, but for me its 100% better. Start it up and drive. Gets around 22-23 mpg. If you do alot of the work yourself FI is cheaper then a carb kit.

I don't know anyone who could do a good tune for me if I ended up going efi. That would be the only problem for me.
