Tammie, how does she run? Make sure that you have the PCV system still hooked up rather than just blocking it off. Trust me on this one.

The only things that are no longer in use are the EGR system ( cant use it) the 9th injector & we did a TB Bypass on her.
We still need to do some fine tuning on her again since we took everything apart monday & put it back together yesterday. But she starts up fine & runs fairly good. Shes running a little on the rich side but I am hoping that tuning will solve that mess.

The only other thing shes doing right now is she likes to die on you when you first start her up & then after she gets moving. after she gets warmed up shes fine.

Kewl this is the car we are driving down. But we are most likely going to be hanging out with the classic car guys in our club. there is like 10 couples from our club all going down. Lets see if I can remember all the cars, 67 Camaro, 68 Camaro (Being hauled down by this truck ) a 69 Camaro, a 72 Vette a 70 Chevelle (my brother in laws) a 79 Camaro & our 95 Camaro I dont know what the other ones are driving down lol.

We & a couple other couples are staying in the Golden Phoenix, then the rest of us are staying in the eldoradoreno. We arrive on monday the 2nd & leave Saturday the 7th.

That car needs SERIOUS tuning. Holy crap... it dies? This year I have yet to have my car die after startup since I got a new tune running in the ECM.

Who are you using again for your chip? And why are you running rich? Thats the easiest thing to take care of in the chip, just 2 little boxes that you change a number in and kablammo... you're rockin.

We had it solved once just before we tore everything apart. So I think the Distrib. is off a little.

We had Fastchip do ours. & I am thinking I might have to go a head & have Blood Enterprise do it again. & they charge $1000 for tuning & chip burning but they are also local.

And the reason you didn;t go to www.fasterproms.com like I suggested is? They are local because the dyno is the road. You take readings, email them and they send you a new burn till it is perfect.

Right now Alkim, but right now I am not trusting any one with burning a new chip with the car unless I can drive the car down there. & that will not be until after Aug anyways when Hopefully get a full time job.

I have used them several times with no bad effects. Their first chip usually a little milder than their last. Since they take readings and I believe offer a money back gaurantee, (at least Jim Formato did before he died) what have you got to lose? It is only $350 and you won't have to leave town.
