I'm not sure...

Maybe try www.camarov6.com For some reason I think you tap into tach feed wire on the PCM.

OR you can just post over at the other board and have people tell you the exact answers you want.

There are 7,000+ members, with v6s in the 11s, 12s, and 13s.

hehe Stefan is a toolbag at times(hell he suspended me a few times and banned my MustangEater screenname) but it doesn't matter much, I think he sold his car, and bought a bimmer, either way he hasn't posted in months and months...

Merry followers? I go on boards and answer questions, if I can't answer it I try and direct them into the direction of where to go... s

and 16 year olds giving good advice?

I love this site, great site for lots of info on f-bodies. But when you get into v6 specific stuff.... That site is the site to go to. You ask alot of questions on v8 boards, you either get "I don't know" or "get a v8"

Turbo setups are popping up all over the place, tuning is starting to come out for v6s so maybe we can finally start catching up to the GTP guys.

There are is now a v6 in the 13s, with a STOCK NA MOTOR, more and more people getting turbos completed and more...

Re: 2000 3.8 shift light install

I remember you on that site. You probably remember me also, my SN there was Ian. I did media coverage for that site, helped out people, and even blew off other events to cover V6 stuff. I said one thing about disagreeing with stefan, and he suspended me. I posted my resignation as a moderator there, and he suspended me.

That guy is a toolbag. Constant toolbag. His hobbies are listed in his profile: Fbodies, computers, bodybuilding

He doesnt own an fbody anymore, he doesnt sit on his computer, and he is a fatass who has never seen the likes of a gym.
