EI am not sure if my copy is adaptable as it is was released before(2000) the Windows version (mine is DOS OS and was better than the early Windows version of F.A.S.T.)  of the Accel DFI and others.

F.A.S.T. does have crank trigger applications for LSX motors as do others now.  It can run anything without electronic TB, VVT, and newer CAN operating systems.

Since this not a show and probably not make it on the cover of Chevy or GHTP magazines, I am trying to keep the costs down.  But still have a quick sleeper. ÂÂÂ

Well what would you be willing to pay for an engine, as per talking with one of the guys with the fast *** TGP, I found a 3500 for $495, and a whole 18 pages total of 3500s, many under $800.  So again, it just depends on if you want to try swapping on in, and/or what your costs are.  However, if cost effective is the way, I just say a simple 3400 with your SC setup, that will be just as fast as you were running, or hell even a 3.1 will net you fast enough times for what you want, you won't be touching the 6.0 LS2 numbers I'm sure  

That Z24 with the remote turbo 3400 runs 12.5, that would touch his GTO.   So a proper SC with the right choices with this next setup could make for a rather quick car.  I like the idea of the 3500 since the 3400's have become so common.  They are common out of availability and simplicity.  But its nice to be a trailblazer now and then.

Trailblazin' is fun.

Middle of this week I'll post everything from the block up on ebay.  Since I cannot use the stuff on a non- 2.8/3.1.

-2.8/3.1 stainless steel headers.

-Extrude Hone upper and lower  
manifolds.

-Ported heads with bowl work and 3-angle valave job.  

-Oversized throttle body

Aww man if I wasnt using the TGP setup I would hop on those headers.  How big is that TB?   Is it just a bored out 52mm?  The lower intake would work for me still, but I would stick with my TGP plenum up top.   I will have to watch these auctions

Norman.  Your headers and I have a date with destiny.  

I might skip my boost project just for em.  I've wanted a set since the day I got my GT.  Make sure to post that link man.  Make sure to post that link.

Hmm, this headers auction could get interesting, haha.  Say Kurt, you know you could always get the headers and do a remote turbo setup.....boost and headers you get your headers and you get your boost can't beat that

There was a 3900 6spd on ebay being sold by Schramm's a few weeks ago.   If you use a 3500 or 3900 you will need the GM PCM unless you no not need the crank sensor pulse or can program it to use this new pulse.

3500/3900 don't have a crank pos sensor? hmm. Are we talking the 3500 simalar to the 3400 or the 3500 with VVT?

The 2.8/3.1 headers would work on a 3100,3400 just fine, except the ports are different shaped. The 3500 has different bolt spacing on the heads though.

The 3500 & 3900 do have Crank Position Sensors.  They read at like 52x as opposed to the 2nd and 3rd gen 660's that read at like 8x or something.... I guess I can't remember theres for sure.  But that's the diff.  I do know that the crank reluctor ring from the 3400 will fit right onto the crank from the 3500 though.

If Norm was to go for the 3500/3900 swap, and serious, he would figure out a way to work it with the F.A.S.T why spend all that more money on a new EMS when he already has one?  If you can't get the crank trigger to work.....try again until you make it....

Exactly. You can make anything work if you play with it long enough.

I found that rather amusing once I said it out loud.

I knew somone with a dirty mind was going to have to make a comment about that one!  I'm not going to tell you the circumstances of when I heard that line.  Or what her name was.  

a 35XX/39XX will be really nice...but like I have stated, there is no known literature in regards to performance specs for this motors...there is a buzz that someone successfully 'boosted' a 35XX but I cannot corraborate that...it will be interesting to know how the bottom holds up on either engines...it sucks to be the first   don't break nothing...LOL!!
