Yeah I read that when I was about to get an LO3, and it seems the guy knows what he's talking about, but other (more knowledgeable supposedly) people say its total B.S. Anywasy it gives good ideas on how to make your LO3 into a decent setup...

Well to give you an idea I noticed that on his site he says that there were 92 3rd Gen Firehawks made, I hope that's typo! Here's that quote from his site:
"SLP Firehawk available via special order, only 92 produced."
It would still be wrong even if he meant that they were all 92's because more than half were 91's!

Black Echo was a tool. Out of nowhere one day he showed up and started saying this and that. He bought a 90 Formula with a L03 and did NOTHING to it. He did some interior stuff, and repaired this that and the other. The only mod he did was install a cowl induction setup off a 82-84 Trans AM. Then after being here for about a year, someone pissed him off so he sold it and changed over to his wifes GTP and didn't do anythign to it either, but claimed to be a god. Read it for entertainment, but there are so many problems with his theories that its really only a guide to how to make your car a pos.

lol... anyone remember the patented "B.E Longpost".. ????? Echo could write some **** tho.. you gotta give him that.. and I won't say he was totally full of it.. it was definately a terminal "illness".. but he gave some good advice to some people... if you could read a whole damn post.. at LEAST 3 pgdn's worth.. AT LEAST..

Pretty decent site,but he is wrong on some info like the Firebird TPI horsepower ratings,and he makes it sound like a Formula is 500lbs lighter than a GTA which he calls"a horribly fat but comfortable version of the TA,a overweight T-rexwith four chins and belly tap disease"SHEESH Try around 100-150lbs,without T's.Although I like Formula's,I'll take a tenth slower,which can be made up so esy its not even worth mentioning,plus leather,power windows etc,GFX,spoiler,and those nice shiny "GTA"emblems thank you

your best bet for TBI mods is right here. Check the tech articals and read Pablo's mods. Jester, Pablo, and Macgyver did almost all of those mods, they only ran into problems with the TBI speed density system being picky and needing new chips after extreme mods. Mac stopped while he was ahead, Jester went carbed, and Pablo got his down to mid 14's before he shipped off to the marines.
