Re: Mods to '85 GM TPI ECM

Mark,
    You need permission from the one who has papers on you(wife) too?  Sure
makes working on the car more difficult doesn't it?  I'm lucky I got my
stroker/trans built and running in the couple months it took.  Looks like
I'll be studying for the 730 swap.  In the meantime I want play with what I
got for awhile.  It appears I can make this work for my current setup.  But
if/when I go with a supercharger I will definately need the 730/MAP.  I say
if because of the cost of a supercharger and when because this motor was
built for it: 9.25:1 compression(Al heads), forged pistons, 4 bolt
mains...etc.
