    Ahh. Yeah, I do not. I’m sure it’s got the VATS engaged. Cananyone help me out with a starter tune? No really, can you?? lol.

    That S-10 is going to be nice by the way. Looking forward toseeing this build thru.

    Regarding the LS Swap in the Trans AM:

    So here is my hodge podge build of parts:

    5.3 all Aluminum from a 2003 GME Envoy
    LS6 Intake from a buddy’s 2004 GTO (He put on a Maggie)
    LS2 cam & springs (better upgrade then stock 5.3 cam)
    4l60E (pre-LS era)
    PCM from a 2000 Camaro
    F body accessories

    Basically this car has been frankenstiened together, butwith some decent parts.

    With regard to my 2000 GT. Any top Swap experts here?

    My wifes 1998 GTP has over 250K. Car was a buddies and webought it with 110K miles on the Odometer. Its only on its second transmission and Ithink that’s pretty good. Motor is solid, leaks oil, but is solid. Over allcondition is medium I’d say. However I’d like to get her into something morecomfy like an SUV or something more useful. Should something catstrophic happen(motor let go, transmission let go, etc), I’m not sure if it’s worth it to rebuild(depending). I’d love to do a Top Swap on my 2000 GT.

    My 2000 GT was a real clean car with only 120K. I wanted aGTP but got a good deal on this one. Funny how much a GT car feels differentfrom a GTP car.

    I’ve read all the stickies from various forums. Just curiousof its worth all the work. I’ve done a tone of work on the 2000 GT (suspension upgrades,etc), so it’s a keeper. The GTP not so much with the high mileage. EVEN if wetraded it in running, you know we will not get much for it.
