Current Performance

[inovermyhead]

Yeah I get what you're saying Z. My mechanical skills are pretty good and I'm in a very technical field myself. I am new to this type of conversion and this site has been the best find on the internet. Believe it or not I have already started a binder of part numbers and parts needed and done some ordering also. I'm not trying to rush my project or NP but sometimes I get caught up in my own line of work at work when I can get answers to questions almost immediately or w/in 24 hours. I am leaning more towards the NP though b/c of their presence here on this site and it does seem to be favorite. Cost also seems to be the same as CP too. Just wished I had time to call NP during the day but work has been crazy lately so no time to make those calls.
And just fyi.... inovermyhead is a reference to the never ending financial means of a project, not skills.

Wow, thanks for the reply.

If it's been more than two days, you might want to pm me or erica, cause erica is all caught up on her email, unlike me, hahah, but i searched and didn't find any harness questions in my inbox.

thanks guys!!

Hey inovermyhead, where are you located?

[inovermyhead]

I replied to Erica. TBH, my only questions were how much for a stock tune and shipping.
I am in Shreveport, LA

I would help you if you were closer. What vehicle are you doing the conversion on?

current performance is more for s10's and sonomas that want to swap in ls motors. alot of people from s10forum.com recommend them and ive seen some of there products first hand. They are pricey but look like quality parts.

Thanks Chevy-Art. I'm basically doing this on my own anyway since my friends say I live in "bfe" although it's only 10 min outside of town... oh well.
Trevor I first learned of CP in Truckin' mag where a Colorado had a LS2 in it. Just so happens that truck is in the same state I am, just much further south.

Oh yeah Chevy-Art, I have a 81 GMC SWB 305 that is currently all original except exhaust.

Hey overmyhead,

I thought of a few more things that have helped me... I work with some guys who know the owner of a junk yard. Just so happend that the weekend I started looking for the underhood brackets to move the battery tray to driverside and make room for the airbox... a ton of cash for clunkers vehicles were showing up. I made out like a bandit with pieces from trucks suburbans, tahoes, etc. My goal was to finish the swap so the engine looked 100% factory, 0% "converted". This has been a slow process but I have a Honda to drive while my Z-71 is being reborn. Hopefully you have several junk yards in your area. I also have lots of shop books for 1994 and 2005 as well as all data and one other online tech web-site. If you know someone who works at a shop with these, see if you can use it. Also, try to find someone with a GM Tech2 scanner. Those things can see everything about system operation and potential problems. I am a few days away from having my wiring to the point where the scanner should be able to tell me if I have any major issue before I turn the key.

Regarding over your head on the budget... I can't offer one bit of help there. ha-

Good Luck

[inovermyhead]

Thanks Z. Unfortunately all the good wrecked vehicles go the private junk yards around here that are closed to the public (good ole insurance companies recycling and calling it new). The ones that are to the public, its like spending a day in a diamond mine hoping to come out rich.
I have access to all-data and a few other tech sites as well but dont know anyone personally w/a scanner. I am going to go w/NP more than likely though. Besides, they are a neighboring state after all.
And um, you sure you can't help w/that last one?
