Those stock transmision will not hold a lot, my car has a big block chevy and a TH-400 automatic trasnmision.

If you want to pay for the gas you can swap in a big block or you can swap in a better transmision and a LT1 or LS1 V* and get some descent gas mileage.

Tuning the C950 is pretty straight-forward, but still takes some finesse. I've had the setup for a while now and there are still things that I learn that I had no idea before. If your buddy is having issues, have him check out the chevy talk forums for very knowledgeable people who know the commander system pretty well.

Thanks! Yeah, TBI isn't really used much with FI, but it has worked well for me. My last setup was a blowthru carb and this is light years ahead as far as tuning and driveability.
