Re: carb/distibutor/intake swap

Back when I did the swap and removed all the emissions crap I put a toggle switch for the lockup. Now are you really going to remember to lock up the torque converter ?:D

Re: Decided to do a bbc swap into '86 Camaro

Re: Cammed ls1, safe to drive without tune?

I drove a '99 C5 vette to the dyno when I installed a vortech supercharger and it still had a stock pump,spark plugs and fuel injectors. Of coarse like stated above no WOT pulls and you will be ok.
