I'm pleased with the Fitech TB. If your a tuner then its not for you. If you look for an plug-n-play efi then it is.

when i dropped the top the rear 6x9 speakers would get covered up so i added the 4 in sound much better. Also added the floor shifter.132079132080132081

Looking good!!

GM alternator CS130 was needed for the Electric fans. At idle the fans pull the voltage down to 11.5 so an alternator that charged at idle is needed.

I really wasn't planning to upgrade the alternator till the Vintage Air ac went in. Any expertise on AC installations or advice, would be appreciated.

It sounds like you have yourself a nice setup there so you can do a lot of cruising.

[arden_dean]

Yes your right that was the whole idea, and it's almost there. Still fair weather, it needs AC for those hot summer days. Then it will be, all weather fun.

That's OK it's something to look forward to. I enjoyed my Camaro the most in the fall and winter when the ground was clean of salt. The carpet was laid right ove the floor with no padding. It was hot as hell, and no A/C so I feel your pain.

Changed out the cherry bombs they were just too loud. Now we can talk while driving.
