I have to refresh my memory every spring. An air/fuel sensor is pretty much required also. Unless you have a dyno to verify things. If you plan on sticking and messing with these LS motors then I would say it's worth it. Otherwise just let a reputable shop do it.
The air/fuel sensor you refer to, is that the "Wideband" I hear so much about?

PLX makes a quality wideband kit. I'm hoping to eventually get one sooner or later.

I said F it, just put about 5 miles on the SS, ran down to Stew's & back to browse the lot. I've had it out of the garage a few times during the winter thaws & driven it around the block once or twice. I'm not ready to get it out for regular duty yet, too much sand & stuff out there still.


BTW, I put my Bogart drag wheels on ebay today...
