Trans has been rebuilt to take the hp. Modded the tb bonnet so won't ever come off under boost. Started installing the 2114 intake. Once finished, we begin tunning. PEACE OUT>Tony

I love to see people doing things with the 4.3L. There is a lot of potential in these motors. Good work!

Can you get me some more information on this intake?

Turbonoma

Well this intake is made to be used with a carb. It was converted to fuel injection by a buddy of mine(sam steeb aka gotswrv) by milling it for injector bungs. He also made the custom tb spacer,fuel rails/fuel lines. Race Proven Motors sells one with the bungs. You just need to get the rest of the parts to finish it. Hope this helps. PEACE OUT>Tony

Got a cal. file from Sam aka gotswrv and I'm gonna install it tomorrow and see if it starts up. I'll have a vid soon. PEACE>Tony

I downloaded the cal.file. The engine turns over but won't start. Need to check the usual stuff first like timing,spark,and making sure the injectors are working.
PEACE>Tony

Found a gas leak on one of my hard fuel lines. Plugs are dry.Need to verify the dizzy and check for pulsing at the injectors. Rome was not built in one day but this is killing me. PEACE>Tony

Well Sam sent me a revised tune today. He changed the injector delay. Hope this is enough to fire it up. PEACE>Tony

Well after coming back home,I checked out the electricals and it looks ok. I have spark at the coil but I discovered some other gas leaks around the Y block in the rear of the mani. I also noticed I have no fuel pressure or at least the gage is not registering it now.@#$%&* seems like when I get close to firing it up, something else shows it's ugly face and throws a wrench at me. PEACE>Tony
