Do it!! I dont wanna race your beast at the shootout! lol

 

Im in the same boat as some of you guys, Im working to get it all instlled. The hard parts went together really smooth. I almost forgot to cut down the dowl pin on the cam!

 

It still costs $1375 if you find ur own coils and pcm. Its a badass system regardless but you really have to be a die hard lt1 guy too. Otherwise you can just sell the lt1 and install a ls1

 

 

I'm a recently converted DFI guy as well

 

Very cool ! I love the DFI it's amazing ! only problem is I'm not sure how to work it on my new mac. I think I need bootcamp and install xp so I can run the program. You running serial cable to a laptop or the newer usb connections?

 

haven't got it completely hooked up yet, motor is still out of the car. I've got the serial cable, which i hope I can find a usb adapter to work with windows 7. Surprisingly calmap works great on 7, so i've already got my initial startup tune done. Just waiting on my trans to get here so I can throw this thing back together and do some real tuning. I got a great price on this system (used), a TON less money than these guys are looking at for these ls1 pcm swaps and the DFI system is basically limitless.

 

I meant it for the next set up, maybe this Fall. And Mike, my car is not any faster than your beast with all the lightweight stuff the you've added.

 

Its all good and I really think the more people in the class the better!!
I really havent added much light weight stuff and at the shootout we have to weigh 3400 anyways.

 

sort of off topic but you guys that need a good serial to USB adapter that will work with Windows7 and XP with ease should use this one in the link

I use these all of the time to program Cisco routers and HP procurve switch's for my network and they work perfect everytime. Also use them to run IR convertors to have my servers control all of my DVD and VCR racks.

 

For you guys that want to go boosted and don't have the money for the conversion, Mine, LT1, Dyna Spark Opti $500.00, 2 bar map, 12-14lbs of boost, 648 RWHP / 612 Tq on the pump gas, 722 RWHP / 713 Tq on the Fast Gas...

 

Can you show any more of this setup?

 

Last I spoke to the guys who make the conversion there was no way to use a double roller etc under the cover with the reluctor. ANyone have any input on wether or not that is still true?

 

Im pretty sure they were going to make there own cover that cleared the double roller. not sure if it was ever finished...

 

What would you like to know..

 

They are offering billet aluminum timing covers that will clear a double roller.

 

hello! not trying to jack this thread but i figured i was in the rite place for this question.. i have my ls1 truck coils,my 96-97 timing cover... so i found a 96 z28 engine harness for a manual..l can i use it an just add my 700r4 trans wiring into it along with the other wiring from efi i will need to do for this upgrade??? if so i will buy the harness asap....
BTW i was turning at a stop light today and outta nowhere the engine straight up shut the **** off...i nearly got ran over...luckly after a few trys at cranking it it started back up...IMO not only is the opti a reliability issue but a safety issue...shhhezz cant wit to have an extra opti
thx for the help

 

 

You need to clip every wire under the hood and connect them together. Then get in car and turn key and make engine noises with your mouth.

 

what the hell is that even all about?
