Default Info on Big Stuff 3

Application:
1994 camaro Z28
motor: 388ci LT1
Induction: ATI F1/TNT 50-100 shot
intercooler: ATI sheet metal
Tranny: 6 speed

SInce theres not alot of LT1 peeps who have even heard of the Big stuff 3 and I know quite a few of you are either running it or planning on too. Ive done a coupel of searches on it and some if not most of the info about it is in this forum. WHat I want to know is there a website about it yet?, Do i have to call Wheel to Wheel to find out about it?. Im really intersted in this product but want more inforamtion on it.

Engine Management Juiced. It's like FAST but with different capabilities. It's what Mike Moran is using to run 240 MPH in the 1/4 with two industrial hair dryers and 16 injectors. (you read that right not 16#s)

Btw...I thought I posted this somewhere else but I guess I didn't. Who has BS 3 on a FI car, are they running it stand alone or piggy backed. How does that work? Living in Maryland we still have to go through the OBD2 scan for emittions

Dave,
Who makes this and what does it get you that Accel DFI doesn't, and at what price?

Thanks

Is there a lot of wiring involved in integrating BS3 as a piggy back setup or is it pretty straight forward?

just cut out of the stock harness what the bs3 replaces.

if you want your gauges to work then buy a second coolant temp sensor and dont cut that out

if you want your tach to work then you have to succesfully split the tach signal btwn the stock computer and the bs3.

I got one cuz Munchymouse was getting one, so up above he is lying.

When you buy a BS3 or anything like it, buy it from someone who will give you tech support.

I got mine from Kurt @ W2W because he's a troubleshooting demigod.

Go to www.bigstuff3.com There is some good info there. Make sure you read the article before entering.
If you need more info Kurt at W2W is the man to talk to.
The wiring for the system couldn't be more easier. Everything is labled and uses factory plugs.
Were running it on our Formula and I will be using it in my CE with tranny control also.

i bought one. not hooked up yet but soon. Futral is doing the install and tuning for me. bought it through him and he has installed it on all his big power cars. he swears by it. there is a PDF file on it out there and you can search this board for it. the integrated wideband is just incredible.

btw, i am running it on a Forced induction LT1. having all the stock gauges work as well.

What are some rough prices that someone should expect to see with this piece? I'm now rethinking the HPTunners when I go into a build and just make the upgrade once.
