I just swapped my stock intake over to a Cobra intake, and converted my '88 AOD GT from SD to MAF by using a complete engine harness from an '89 GT. In less than 2 weeks I'll be done throwing a ProCharger P600B on my car (I'll be running 9-11 psi), so I put on my 30lb. injectors and calibrated 80mm C&L mass air unit while I swapped intakes. Since tonight is the city's cruise night, I'd like to drive my car tonight, and on Monday I'll start the blower install. Therein lies the potential problem..my car has this done:

Full exhaust
I can make up some ghetto CAI
Cobra intake
30# injectors
80mm C&L Mass air
Kirban AFPR

How will my car run with the 30# injectors on a pretty much stock engine? I have a twEECer R/T to fix any tuning issues if there are any, I'll just need a bit of guidance there, too. Thanks in advance.

break out the tweecer...it'll probably idle like poo, and run pig rich-like gag you rich

VRIstang has a tweecer, he might be of some help-good luck with that blower!

Ok, update. I finished the whole swap and started it up...the car ran like crap (surging idle, missing) so I went ahead with the twEECer. I opened the dashboard datalogger since the other one didn't work, and suddenly the car stalls. I tried to remove the key..now the key is jammed in the "On" position and won't come out. After examining the box that the ECU came in, I googled the part number, and the auto parts company gave me an A9L instead of an A9P. Looks like they owe me a new steering column and maybe even an engine. Right now I hate my car so much I'm thinking of dumping it...way too many problems (while I was undoing a rubber hose that goes to the heater core, a brass pipe came off..aka new heater core). I don't even know what I'm asking here, but...uhhhh....help?

ouch...that's no good, I remember seeing a post on here before a while back that if you tried to use an A9L in an auto, it would fry the keep alive memory, or KAM; something about the signal going into pin 30 on the ecm for the 5 speeds is 5v, but for the auto it's 12v...dunno much about that though.

I guess I'm lost on the steering column bit though-how is it they would owe you a new one? Did you change the steering column? From what I recall, the only diff between 5spd's and autos, is the little cable that runs from the shifter to the column, I don't think the computer has anything to do with that one.

I severely doubt you'll need a new engine though.

I'm probably talking in circles to you at the moment...
