Hi Erik,

ASAP! Lol, I want to hear that sound too... I will be using the stock intake to get it running with the Shelby version of the engine so I can get it through emissions easier. Then if all that goes well, I will save that tuning file and try Russ's ITB setup again. If I get that going as well or better than the stock intake then all that will be left is to see if it will make it through emissions the next time around.

What ECM are you going to use with the ITB setup to try to pass emissions?

I am going to try the Holley 950 for both intakes. There is a program out that helps with the tuning, I think it is call the co-pilot or something like that. It can watch the wideband O2 sensor and replace the values in your base map while you drive or you can go out and record some driving on your data logger and have the program put the correct values in your base map based on the correction amount the Holley 950 needed to use. There have been some mixed reviews but if you end up being one of the lucky ones, you get a well tuned base map in a fairly short amount of time. Then we will have to see if it is good enough for the emissions test.

So, they wont care if its an aftermarket ECM just as long as emissions are within stock paremeters of a N* ?

I don't think they will ask much about it since it is an 88, they will look for any smog equipment normally on an 88. ie: vapor canister, pcv system, egr system and catalytic converter. If they don't like what they see then they will send me to a referee that will make the decision for the county on whether or not it complies with the applicable laws. Hopefully It will do ok. I run a Holley analog injection system (Holley Pro-Jection) in my 81 chevy with the controller box sitting on the trans hump. They have never asked me about it.

I managed to get the "new" dash installed (old one but no cracks yet) and the gauge cluster with 120 speedo and modified tach. It looks a lot better than it did for a stock interior. Paulv sold me a GT steering wheel so that should come close to completing the coupe to GT look inside. When I get a chance, I will run the engine again to see if the tach is close enough to use.

Temp gauge is off. It indicates 100 when the engine temp is 200. I already did the "lamp test fix" so I need to pull the needle and reset it.
The modified tach is reading about 300 rpm high. I will need to adjust the trim pot to get it more accurate.

I plan on swapping out the bad engine for the Shelby engine starting tomorrow. I will hold off doing any mods to the Shelby engine until after I run it for awhile. For now I will be using the stock intake until it passes emissions then I may try Russ544's ITB again.

Finally got something done. Bad engine removed:

So your not using any muffler and just using a cat on each bank? So, how loud is it?

I've got a 80 series flowmaster on my N* and thought it was a bit loud. I think I'm going to find some short muffler tips.
