Offered a 454/TH400 C10. Would be a cool cruising truck if paint wasn't bad and didn't get 5mpg...

If you dont mind my asking, why the Holley as opposed to a stock PCM?

If it was a short bed I'd have a hard time saying no. I really like those trucks with a drop and some wheels and a slick paint job.

If the mileage were lower, I might offer a trade for my Civic...but I really like 30mpg+

Marc tried getting me to get a tattoo of a Trans Am on me this weekend...well sort of

He wanted to make a bet, the terms: if we race next year and he wins - I get a T/A tattoo. If I win - he gets a running horse Mustang logo tattooed on him.

It was enticing but I would be spending a looooooooooooot of money in the next year to avoid the race

Guitar, that car looks damn good. What were you using to monitor engine temp? Or did you just say **** it, checked coolant regularly and made sure fan was working fine?

15mpg is about my limit. I'd much rather drive a vehicle I want to rather than one that gets great mpg. I drive the TA lots of days anyways. Just a PITA to get out of my driveway...my driver's side most exhaust tip is crushed because of the ******* slope. Can't wait to get out of this shitty house.

I just check it every now and then lol..I thought about hooking the factor gauge back up or buying one. I may just cut the plastic and stick the needle back on...meh.

He wanted to make a bet; the terms: If we race in a year and he wins, I get a Trans Am (I'm assuming the Firebird) tattoo on my body. If I win, he would get a running horse Mustang logo tattooed on him.

I would have taken it but it would force me to spend a loooooooooooooot of money in the coming year to avoid getting that tat

The ever-elusive TRIPLE post, with a twist! 4 minutes between the first one and the next two, and the first one has more words.

Oh ****** Greg! I knew someone would catch it. It never showed so I wrote it again...and it all started because I went to edit my first post that said "avoid the race" when I meant "avoid the tat"!!!

This! I dd'ed a Saturn for a while and it got great fuel mileage, but I'd much rather drive a car that is more about fun than mpg's.

98 PCM is junk so I'd be getting rid of that anyway.

Holley setup is the best route for my intended future setup, room to grow, and safety.

Everyone else notice how snake95 said he wants to avoid the race with me?!

Sounds good. Was just wondering because I know most '98 guys swap to a later year 0411 PCM, which is good for over 1000+rwhp and can control things like factory gauges and such. GL with build.

That was another option.

I just prefer the Holley setup after being around a Dominator for awhile.
