Default Newbie, saying hello.

Here is my "hybrid" (that's a new term for me )





2001 5.3L Vortec, OEM 4L60E, 241 transfer case with SYE, 1350 CV to 1410 rear driveshaft to Dana 60 running 5.13 gears and Detroit locker. Front axle is a reverse cut Dana 44 with an ARB locker. I am running a Howell EFI standalone harness and hacked computer, LS1 manifolds, custom intake, Granatelli MAF, 2.5" Y pipe to 3" single custom exhaust (no cat) to Flowmaster 50 series. The computer is hidden behind the firewall, all Autometer gauges, Lokar shifter (with piston head, of course!) among other "wheeler" add ons that I suspect would be lost on this crowd...

I am still working through issues on my project that I started over 2 years ago, and I am very much looking forward to learning about the tuning/PCM side of this, which so far has been "mysterious black box" for me.
