IT'S ALIVE!!!

Well after much frustration, many many hours and a budget blown to pieces, my car runs! I've got some tuning to do and tons of cleanup in the shop. I did a v6 to v8 swap and a complete transmission overhaul. Man is my speedo off! I'll have to change the speedo gears out. I do have a few questions though...

Does anyone have an ecm wire harness pin diagram for both an 89 with a 2.8 v6 and a 91 z28 305tpi? I need to swap pins for my vss so torque converter will lock out.

Im stoked here guys. This totally made my day!! Ohh...I also installed flowtech headers and a y pipe along with a complete cat back exhaust made by obx. Alot of you guys have run obx headers but I can't find anyone with the obx exhaust on their car. Its 3"ss with 2" 2 1/2" tails with 3" tips. What sold me on trying this company out was a exhaust I saw and heard on an 02 corvette. And I gotta say...it sounds SWEET! Very deep and throaty with very little interior drone. Id say just a slight more aggressive than magnaflow. And the decell sound is superb. No pops and cracks.

Have a great night guys!! Thanks for all of your help!

There's nothing quite like the payoff of hearing it run after countless hours of work. Good job!
