Denny yes it is a MAF sensor car. That is why I was saying I don't think there is enough room.
Let Joe know I may need some help with the wiring soon.
Dreamer get those honey dews done. I don't want to get you in the dog house.
Jeff KandiedZ was coming out today. I though about it but went back to bed. I don't think Berger was to happy with me at M6 anyway. I killed 2 of there 380HP SS Camaros there. I was laughing about it and they said I was spraying. I told them no there cars were not making 380 HP. My car dyno 303 RWHP. So if there cars are 380HP and I beat them by about 4 or 5 cars then i should put say 450 HP emblem on my car right.

Joe do you know what needs to be done with a none lock up converter. I have heard you install a switch. I have also heard there is something you put on the trans and you don't need the switch. I am not sure about with either.
Also denny ask about the MAF sensor on my car. Will a wet kit work with that. I don't know anything about NOS either.

Yes you can use NOs with a MAF, but you have to install the nozzel after the MAF.
I thought about the problem with using a Sup0er Ram with a wet6 kit and I also agree that it's probably not a good idea, so if you know of a kit to run a dry shot then go for it. I'd like to know how that works though, does it make you injectors spray in more fuel or somthing to make up for it???
As for the converter you won't use a switch. The switch is for people who have a lockup converter but for some reason don't have a computer anymore. The switch was used to lock up the converter manually. Since you're puttin in a non-lockup converter you won't have to.

I will be getting a dry kit instead of the wet kit. Cheaper in the long run.
To do the converter I will need something for the trans I am told. Not sure what but I will have to find out.
The guy lives in East Detroit that has the 3rd gen. He just did a 406 or 427 build up. He post here sometimes.
I took the IROC out today and ran through the gears. I had Dennys old tires on there and they sing pretty good. When I hit 3rd gear they chirped loud. That is the first time in all the years I have had the car it did that.

Chris - If I can find some time before I leave, I could help with the converter install. I could be wrong, but if it's non-lockup there is nothing you can do to it to make it lock up.

Maybe we can trade, the converter install for a real nice interior/exterior detail job on the 'vert!

The 10 second IROC you're referring to is Scott Koresky's, he's on the boards as 1bad86z and is getting carried away and going all out race car. I don't think you'll see it too much on the street anymore.

Mike you are right his name is Scott. With all the meds I couldn't remember.
I don't think I want the converter put in if I have to be over 3000 RPM all the time. I guess I will try and sell it. Then get a 3000 stall lock up converter. I have a 2400 stall lock up in there now. Just a little below the power band.
Scott just let me know about the detail work and we can do it or I can do it. Either way it will look sweet.
Joe I will let you know about the NX or NOS kit Tues or Wens.

Chris-

I know its off topic, but i seen where you posted on the MM garage sale board expressing interest in those IROC wheels Scott had for sale witht he ET Streets... My meighbor bought them to put on an El Camino, and found out they won't fit without spacers. He may consider selling them. I'll let you know. Maybe he'd be willing to do a trade on some polishing work or something.

Mike let me know what he wants for them. I was just thinking about refinishing them and selling them. Let me know how they look and what he wants.
