I'm not done with mine yet but i can say that the quality of efi connection's parts are top notch.

my car hasnt ran right in years so i just want to try something! i dont really want to do a ls swap cause thats even more money and headache and i believe i can achieve my goals with the good ol LT.

I completely agree with this. I just got all my parts in from them less my new harness and the quality is top notch.

I mainly am doing this conversion to get rid of the opti and to be able to use the "411" pcm for better tuning.

It's a nice set up, I have a 93 so my tuning choices were a bit limited, it made more sense than a FAST. If I had a later LT1 MAF PCM and some one to tune it, I may have just stuck with it. Far my purposes it's worked really well.

Im happy with my decision to swap over to it. The car runs alot better. The tuning capabilities is great. Im only h/c/i and glad i made the decision.

Did ya'll have to buy that Billet cover or did ya'll mod the one you have to clear double roller chains. I gotta try n save on everything I can cause I'm going to have to get the newer transmission too

I think you only have to swap in the later solenoids or something? You don't need a whole newer transmission. That is overkill unless you know someone near you with one cheap and you can recoup your costs selling yours.

I did the Efi24x conversion. I'm very impress with the quality parts from Efi Connection. Although the plug and play harness took a while to build, but it was worth the wait. All connectors were tagged, and wires were neatly loomed for easy plug and play. I, too have the older 4L60E that has to be updated to a 96-97 internals---electrical wire harness, solenoids, valvebody, in which FLT is doing the update. After that, a visit to the dyno for tuning and the car should be ready for some test and tune come spring time.

Well mine is stock with a transgo shift kit so I was gonna eventually get one from performabuilt just glad I found this out before buying one. I'm gonna just try n sell mine locally.

Ah gotcha, yeah convenience and a built trans then. It's def. worth doing, I love how my car runs with the 24x.

Another question, does the ls engines have the reluctor wheel or whatever it is or do ya have to buy the efi connection one?

05HD

Yes, LS engines have reluctor wheels and yes you have to buy the EFI connection one if you want to use an LS ECU on your LT1.

Damn, oh well don't hurt to try.
Got a 5.3 n was just wondering if I could use the one out of it
