    Default Need some insight on stand alone engine management systems...

    So Im wondering when the Impala inherits the camaros motor set up... I would like to upgrade the blower to utilize what the engine was built for. We built it to handle 15 to 20 lbs of boost.

    I INSIST on keeping the opti on the car so 24x is not an option.

    My turner that did the camaro to get the 602/540 stated that even with the obd1 conversion, they were at their limit with tuning it... so if I ever stepped up the boost I would need a stand alone for them to tune it.

    IM NOT A TUNER... so I do not know the capabilities of the obd1 stock set up which the impala is also converted too. If my tuners tell me it can be done... then I will stay with the factory set up, but if what the tuner told me is true... I will look for suggestions for stand alone systems.
    @MoeHorsePower I would love to hear ur insight with this. Thinking something in the F series of blowers.


    (And for now the impala will remain automatic, obviously with an upgrade from @Cahall performance transmissions.

    Holley efi is where it's at. You can still use the opti to trigger the coil

    Ok.. great start. Let me ask, Is it worth the money and hassle of wiring it in as compared to the effort to tune am obd1 setup.

    Larry, that trans is already a "Pro Race". The only thing we may want to upgrade is the output shaft to a billet one.

    Yeah, youd have to go to a billet faced converter like osie went to with the anti balloon plate. I strongly approve this idea!!

    You tagged me in another thread but I think it was moved? I don't know but I approve. Also, +1 on the Holley standalone setup.
