From: Hell was full so they sent me to NJ
Is the stroker engine carbed or fuel injection?

Someone told me to hook up the ones i need and cut the rest.
Hook up the ones of what? Some of the ECU circuits?????

You will probably want to put in an aftermarket speedo.

Here is a setup in my friends 82 T/A, yours can use the same gauges, just laid out in your camaro cluster.

That looks good, I wish it was as easy to do something like that in a 4th gen.

Are the gauges the only thing that the computer still controls? So if i remove the computer i will have to install all new gauges? Id rather not!

The Speedo on your car requires the computer since the VSS Buffer is built into it.
to run the speedo without the computer, you will need an external VSS Buffer from an 86-89 Firebird (camaro's had mech speedos until 89).

Or you could just get a gauge cluster from a 89 and older Camaro and just hook up a mech speedo cable.
