They are 10-15 minutes from my house and I haven't been impressed by their work. They setup a carb for my friends Chevelle and it didn't run worth a **** until he took their carb off. They did an e85 carb for another friends circle track car and the only time it ran ok was wide open.

How do you rig up the TPS sensor in this kind of build? Is there an adapter plate to put it on the other side of the carb?

He does need a tps since his tranny is a manual valvebody if that is why you were thinking he did.

I have a manual valve body trans so I won't need tps. But there is a company that makes an adapter to make it work if I did

Just thought of a possible obstacle. Since I'll be doing away with factory PCM, how will I start my truck? I had to hook my park neutral switch up before it would run when I put the new trans in

Basically I don't know if the pcm tells the bcm anything that will cause troubles once the pcm is gone. Thanks

If you're going carb now and aftermarket EFI later, why not rip out all the factory wiring and go with say a Painless setup or something along those lines? To me it would seem easier.
