hey everybody, im new here but not so new to chevy v8s..mainly tbi 350'*. im going to be getting a 1996 chevy 5.7 vortec soon and have a few questions. 1) what should i check out in the shop before buying it? and 2) i want to put a performance programmer/module/chip on it and i was wondering what the best one is for this engine? i wont run higher octane fuel, so no chips that require that. any help would be much appreciated thanks in advance!!

see my post in the the other thread, the 96'* have to be programed, so you send your computer away or get someone local to do a custom tune which is the way to go. with the spider and that most beneficial would be trans stuff.

-.- I don't run any less then 93 in any vehicle I drive especially when I had my 97 5.7... Check rear main and if it'* got it, the oil cooler connect

do you know of anyone who does good custom tuning? im in the colorado area.

if you cant find anyone blackbear sometimes will go out to an area if they get so many request and deposits
