I checked the archives for it a while ago and read the complete text of the article someone was kind enough to transcribe. I don't recall it having any comparison numbers (air flow, power comparisons, etc.). I looked around for people who had done upgraded to the V8 TB, and a good number had complained about some loss in torque. Almost as many didn't have any complaints, though.
And thanks for the reference to Bernd's site...Great site!!! I love it when you don't have sift through pages of junk to get to the good stuff. Bernd's site is very straight forward and informative. Bernd's suggested sticking with and playing with the V6 TB and mentioned that going with the four barrel would require some serious computer reprogramming. I was under the impression that even with the "standard" V8 TB swap, you should upgrade to a performance computer to maximize the gains possible. I was looking at the Jet Stage II chip; would this chip be enough to handle either the "standard" V8 TB swap or the 4 barrel?
Thanks for the input guys... I may not be able to do all this stuff now, but I can atleast plan it out. "Measure twice, and don't screw it up" my dad used to say :)
