Are you using the stock yj fule pump ? and what type of fule regulator are you using ? I have been reading up on a Chevy 5.3 swaps With 700r4 tranny's

BTW, It Look's and sounds real Good. How's the power band in that Bad Boy

I took the fuel pump out of zj and put on yj..they were identicle in shape and size

its kinda long set up. I sold my tcase w sye for 250 and put a mega short in my spare tcase and junkyard wide chain and 6planetary and drilled some 7inch long btf perches 2 inches and plates to push axle back 2inches. I wanted to keep the od unit on the trans....btw 70mph at 1500-1750rpm

what's a mopar perfrom pcm - is that an a/m one? do you have a link or p/n, where did you get it? $300 sounds reasonable, is it programmable?

[drunkencityworker]

it takes out speed limiter . mimimizes trq manager . advances timing i think. premium gas only. 25-30hp gain. it was suposed to come with paperwork so i cld get 100 for core but did not. so should have been 214 after core. i have an email for guy i am on phone so will get later for you. it is obd1, soo i would think nonprogramable. made by mopar or company that refurbishes for mopar/chrysler. i figure eliminating fan and ac and perf pcm i shld be around 250conservativly hp
