It's stock ECU just with an SAFC II that I put in. As for fuel management, it is just a FPR supplied with the kit. But I used 95 sc400 injectors which is a little bigger than the 90-94 LS injectors. Since you only boosting at 6psi. The car run fine without any major fuel or ecu modification.

Well Phase 2 has begun. Doing some body work on the car. Fender pulled and a new coat of paint. Hopefully it will come out good.

1) To expensive. To import a kit to Sweden would be really expensive, mostly because the 25% tax I would have to pay
2) The car would be nonlegal to use on the roads in Sweden.

But I'm afraid that reading about this build will make me start dreaming again
Barney stinson would not say awesome, he would say this project will be " LEGEND wait for it DARY

I don't think I can make it to TORC this year. Car still waiting to be paint. But no big deal. Give me time to put more stuff on the car for next year TORC.
