Oh yes, the 4l80 could not be controlled by the 98 computer anyways. A 98 pcm is limited to a 2bar anyways with hpt. The bigstuff is much better at controlling fueling from a "on the go" stance. If later on he wants to add more datalogging sensors, he can do so much easier then buying a entire new system.

The 99+ can be converted to run the 4l80e and a 3bar SD.

Why is it peaking at 5800 RPM? Are you guys letting out? That thing should pull to 7K+ RPM.

Yep, this is just a baby motor. After making the car able to go down the strip, i think a solid roller lsx block is in order for you, along with a 106mm lol.
