I am running a Vortech with a Hughes cam 24# injectors, M1 manifold soon to
be topped off with an R&D TB, crane roller rockers, JBA's and a custom 3
inch exhaust. I am also using a computer programmed by Z industries. I
havent gotten any times on it yet since all the work has been done but it is
going into the trans shop tomorrow. Maybe I will have them do a torque
converter and shift kit once the problem is found and corrected.
