if you can run a grinder, you can grind the fuel plate. Also, I would recommend a valvebody to go along with your TQ converter when you get it. Gauges are everyone's best friend, make sure you have them. They also help in diagnosing some problems, help with tuning, save your engine and trans. from melting down into 1 solid piece...

Yea melting everything into one piece is something Id like to avoid, could I install the guages by myself or should I have a proffesional do it? I dont have much experience, but if its simple I could figure it out. Also what guages should I get?

EGT, Trans and boost. Boost isn't really necessary but its cheap, fun to watch and a good tool for figuring out problems.

If you can drill and tap a hole you can put them in.

Guages are pretty easy - if you can change your own oil, you can install them. plus we can help you with any questions you may have.

Cool thanks for the help guys. What is a valvebody and how much do they cost? Ive got around $1500 to work with for the time being

The valve body is what controls your transmission. check out goerend bros. transmissions Goerend Transmission Incorporated they have great products. we just put the trans in my 12v it will be finished tonight as soon as i get the new dipstick in. where in Md are you

I used to be stationed in Still Pond, not too far from you. On my truck i did the Gauges, intake, exhaust and #10 plate on my truck at first then as soon as i put the 3k gsk on it i blew the trans. i was told it was because of the shift points of the stock transmission. are you on DTR too.

Thats cool, Ive got a couple friends who live in Still Pond. An that sux about your trans. Whats DTR?
