1984 Monte SS Yes, the sway bar was installed by me when I bought it back from Mike. I did notice a difference when I put it on. I sent you a PM

1984 Monte SS Hi Scott and Mike. Glad to see you have talked about running the car. Mike, I had installed the 8.5 rear with an Eaton posi when I bought it back from you. I also swapped the TA-61 for a TA-60 for street drivability. Running street gas at Quaker City in Norwalk, I ran easy 12:60's...

CAR IS SOLD! Thanks for inquiring about it.

Thanks Jeff. I went to Quaker City Drag Strip last year and ended up in the sport compact lane for a time trial (I didn't know, I just wanted to run) and ended up abusing one of their fastest cars. I came around again and was not so politely informed that I was in the wrong row and it was only...

The rearend held up for a long time, it had Moser 28 spline axles and a new posi. Remember, no real hard shock off the line and no clutch. The Camaros had this rearend. I swapped in the engine and GN transmission at the same time. My 84 SS had a Turbo 350 trans. I had to change the crossmember...

Sent you an e-mail with pictures. Hope your server can take 6 meg.

Thanks for the compliment, send me your friends mailing address and I will send him a 6 or 7 page set of notes I did when I planned the conversion. Kind of confusing unless you have wiring diagrams for both cars. My car never had air, so that is one thing I didn't have to worry about. The 7.5...

Sent you an e-mail with lots of pics. Not a hard conversion to do, need to run power to a GN gastank, power to injectors, change some wiring to use the Monte dash, v6 motor mounts. I have the car for sale for $9,900.00 Is in beautiful shape.

I'll send out first thing tomorrow, have to leave the office. Thanks

Hi Paul, I use Direct Scan on my lap top. Are the 30# injectors stock for that year or they after market? Been 8 years since I had my 84. Reason I asked about the injectors is that the chip needs to be programmed for larger injectors. Doesn't matter what turbo you have, but sure does on the...

If you reduce your fuel pressure, you might go lean on the top end. What do you use for a scan tool? I am guessing the chip is too rich on the bottom end, that is why I suggested Eric. Send him an e-mail and tell him what you want, he can program for it.

I launched mine at 1# boost. A rich bottom end will not let the turbo spool fast enough. I would try for 780. E-mail Eric at Turbotweak. His chips aren't as rich on the bottom end and idle like a dream, even with my 009 injectors, and NO tip in hesitation. Lay a bag of ice on the throttle body...

I had an 84 t-type with similar mods. Went from 15.30's stock to 14.50's. Traction was a problem I had with stock tires. I was running 93 octain. I had a hole in the up pipe to the turbo that caused boost to be slow. With the small turbo setting on top of the motor, you should spool very fast. I...
