well are u getting the zzp tranny? i was looking at one of those just to c how much then run and they have way to many options

Not sure yet. That's what I was thinking but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I'll probably just get a standard race trans build with the HD-components and a 2500 stall.

but wouldnt that be the same as getting a gtp tranny?

More or less, but with 329 gearing still and the stall converter to help with launches.

so pretty much just go with the wbody store top swap or how do you get eds parts... does it come with the gaskets?

w-body store top-swap is $1300 for the hard parts and the gaskets. read http://www.wbodystore.com/grandprix/w-body-store-supercharger-conversion-kit-p-157.html . they have an installation kit

drummerboy i think i heard you recall you couldnt use the L67 MAP is that so? and if so Y

Actually matching cams and proper stall rpm converters is important. Basically iirc the more wild the cam the higher the stall needs to be on the converter. Too much cam and not enough converter will turn out to be a dog.

he had a problem with his L67 map sensor. When i did mine, the L67 map sensor was fine. So i sold him my L36 MAP sensor. I think its pretty hit or miss with that

On the 97's you have to use the L36 MAP sensor. This is because the PCM cannot be flashed over to use GTP files, because of the 4T60-E tranny. Without flashing over to the GTP files, your PCM cannot control the L67 MAP or the Boost Bypass Valve.

The L36 MAP has been fine up to this point for me.

so how do you change it? change the tranny?

Dont worry about it... no reason to change the tranny in order to use the L67 MAP. Trust me the L36 one is fine.
