You already swapped trans? I know I need the pedals, I plan on using the stock console and going with a aftermarket shifter. I am going to us a torque arm relocation bracket for the trans mount. I need to get the brackets that are in the transmission too. How much you want for the stuff?

lol, yea this is true. obviously my car isnt up to par with the crowd. kids tend to suck all my fun money away. Ill likely end up selling my old import(240sx with rb20 and a crapload of suspension work) to buy some things for the trans am.

Maybe you guys will be able to help me out when the time comes, if your willing to touch a lt1, lol.

When you guys were running it looked like you where trying to manually shift the car. Next time let the tranny do it's job. The first time I've ever manually shifted my car is when I got my shift kit because of the 2-3 shift lag. But if your tranny is stock with no mods then put it in D and mash the gas. I should have my ALDL cable from Moates by the end of next month to help with your tune later on down the road. Start with a basic tune up and start saving for a new GM opti-spark. Because it will go out on you sooner or later. So when it does you'll have your replacement on the shelf.

already a few steps ahead of you. I have the aldl cable already. always trying to learn new things. and the optispark has less than 3k on it. I didnt want to wait for it to fail.

also have tunerpro for editing the tune and winflash for reflashing the ecu once the tune is done.

I have TunerCat and TunerPro 5V. You need to get a copy of TunerCat from me later on to tune for sure. You can use it to edit and reflash the ecm, but you can still use TunerPro to Data log though. Oh yeah I have DataMaster for Data Logging too.

Well, I have bought the parts now I'm just waiting to do the conversion. The parts will be out of the car in the next two weeks. Just pm me what you want/need and we can discuss a price. I won't stick it to ya or anything, I'll hook you up.

I'm glad I can help, remember you still need to have your ecm re-tuned for those 3.23's or your going to have your converter locking to late. Thank you for the hook up man. Are you still going to sell it and are you still in columbus.

That's right, don't make me turn on my bottle.

That's cool, then we can get some real tuning done. I'm still doing donuts at the end of your driveway waiting on my race. Go ahead and look out your window!
