    I'm getting the L67 TB ported for $50. Worth it since I don't have a place to do it right now. I also feel he'd do better work than I.

    $50 is chump change compared to all the other stuff I'm getting. Worth it, seeing how a N* setup or LS1 is much more expensive and probably not necessary.

    because its a MAP sensor problem too. The MAP sensor for that throttle body is different. The engine is from a 98 bonneville. I would have to have custom tables put in the PCM and as stated before, I have a canned tune from ZZP. I also dont have the tools to do it. If you want pictures, I can show you why they are different and why I cant use the L67. I cant use one of the newer sensors in it either.

    Not MAP sensor. MAF sensor. MAP sensor is different.
