need help vortec with edlebrock top end
I need some insight here guys. I have a '97 vortec and live in a non emissions area (just visual). I am strongly considering an Edelbrock top end kit. Their P/N 2096 along with a FiTeck self tuning unit (30003)
Top end kit consists of:
7516 performer air gap intake. Vortec head style - no egr.
60985 heads, 2.02/1.60 vortec style
2207 cam, .594 lift/242 duration on 112 LSA
Heads are assembled and matched with all the other components and also has new timing set, lifters, rods etc... The new parts list also includes a built trans, rear etc.
I would go to BlackBear for tuning (waiting to hear back from them) but am worried about all the existing sensors and such.
Am I headed down the wrong path here? Concern with MAF, MAP, Evap purge solenoid, injector harness... Do these all get tuned out? You just remove the harness for them?
Help...

FITeck self tuning unit. Why would you get a tuner involved? Maybe that is why they are not responding. I don't think anybody knows about FITeck yet to answer any of your questions. I am not going to do the research, does this system control your transmission? If not, the stock computer would have to stay online and it might use some sensors to determine shift points. Otherwise you might need a tuner to turn off the check engine light.

After looking further, I think the FiTech EFI 4 would be a better selection - it also controls spark. I need to call them - assuming it would be an computer controlled HEI type.
