What did you do with the egr setup? Did you do away with it and blocked it off on the intake and you are going to delete it out the pcm or are you going to plumb it into the headers?

There is a writeup on FSC, I'll look for it for you. The L19 (454 found in medium duty trucks) had a coil on plug setup stock.

Is there a BBC message board somewhere?
who ever sez that is a dumbass.
im a real deal hardcore lsx man, the lsx make aggressive power,
but i cannot deny my bbc roots.
the bbc i want to build starts with a real block like a dart topped with real heads and intake from cfe.
but i may never be able to pay for any of that.
so i stick to turbo lsx. next best thing imo

I was thinking about making a twin turbo kit for the 98-02 F-Bodies but I'm thinking things over. I'm not sure if I want to build something for the 98-02 F-Body or the New Camaros. Either way I wasn't thinking about making cast iron manifolds. I'm thinking steel (black) pipe would be best. It's easy to work with, cheaper and damn near bulletproof.
