Dan,
I have had two people tell me to contact Ron. One was Danny Crower, and the
other is a friend of mine that runs a B&M blower on his 350 chev. pickup. He
is real happy with the chip he got from Ron. His truck is a 94 (OBD). Give
Ron a call and see of he can help. He is local, I might give him a call
also. Never talked with him but he is well respected here in Calif. My 95,
the changes read like a book.
5.9L .030 over
Crane cam
Crane HI-6 TR - boost retard set to 2 degrees/pound boost
Crane PS-92 coil
custom pistons (lower compression)
ported heads - care of Dave Hughes @ Hughes engines
port matched intake manifold
Vortech supercharger (2.75" pulley - boost 6 lbs @ 4,000 rpm)
Crane roller rockers (1.6/1)
Bosch injectors
Superchips custom engine controller
numerous other little things.
