Ok, well what *pretuned pcm should i be looking at?
Im not sure if'll be able to find a decent tuner around. I ended up going to that shop near the house, and not a single one had ever heard of a "top swap" and all they did was bad mouth the motor saying it wouldnt handle, and that it would blow.

I mentioned there were folks doing 500whp on the stock bttm end but they werent hearing any of it.

I may not go as crazy as original, maybe stock heads with an xp cam with valves and springs. Still havent made up my mind.

Anyone got info on the wbodystore's stage 2 ic? I saw it was cheaper than zzp's, but thats before you get their modified fuel rails and all that crap. After that it was same $.

Also any word on their topswap kit? It was 100 bucks cheaper than milzy.?

 

Just get a top end from a blown L67. You should be able to find them pretty easily. And with the engine blown, it'll be cheap. You need to make sure there's no valvetrain damage though. As far as PCM's are concerned, I trust ZZP. I've been going to them for all of my tunes for almost 6 years now and have been VERY pleased every time with the results.

Don't worry about your local shop. Most people look at 3800's like mine and say, you're just asking for it to blow. They've been saying that ever since I started modifying my Monte 6 years ago and I've been boosted for over 2 years now with no signs of a problem. Push your engine to the limit, and then if you have to buy another block, so be it. They're a dime a dozen.

 

I like your attitude sir!
Glad to hear something good about zzp and their tuning.
I've called several junkyards locally, alotta grandprix's. I've only found two gtp's, one was missing the motor, and the other one the guy wanted 1700 for the motor and he didnt want to part it out. The search continues!
