Oh, you're serious... I wasn't, about the GT. I need that like a hole in the head with it running tens. The 69 might do that with mostly the current hardware, done right. Really dunno what you have in mind, Bill. I've got GPs but you two don't like those... and I only do this stuff at work, none at home. No after hours shop access, nothing. GTP lives in my tiny oil change garage. Be glad to coach you-uns on bodywork though. That being said...

If your combined console change plus piggy banks dumped into a pile about the size of top book value on a stock 97-03 GTP coupe for example, what car body would be your first pick?

Ironic that this post should follow that one, ha.

Basic GTP EFI question:

I don't have a way to monitor KR... except a nice fullblown diagnostic tool at work which I do have access to. The kind that does ABS, SIR, test functions and all that like a Tech2 would. I trained on a Tech2 a little back in the day, for dealer stuffs. Anyway, this is a Snap-On and I tried it today and now have this question:

If the KR value on the tool is 0-90, what number of degrees BTDC is 100% of that 90? Like if I have an HEI dizzy that allows 50 degrees maximum advance, and place a knock sensor on the block, and it gives me a 10 on the Snap-On 0-90 scale, that means the sensor indicates 4.5 degrees retard is needed. Follow me? Am I needing to do knock count instead then reference another number?

I realize I'm probably making it difficult right out of the gate, but using this tool costs me nothing.
