85 Turbo Trans Am





Re: 85 trans am!!!

I would like to do an efi system but there a lot of $$$$$$$ v/s a blow through carb and msd box that controls it.

Yeah, them LS1 PCMs are like $700 with a tune and wiring harness designed for hot rodding.

MS3 Pro is another option to consider. The rest, meh. They don't even have injector data maps, and sell you 80s style injectors. Technology is moving, please keep up.

Re: 85 trans am!!!

It's nice to see these old birds get new chance of life. I'm ass deep in my 98 TA, Blew the LS1 up 2 yrs ago and been doing a front to rear drive train build up. It should have been running last summer but had a material failure in the newly built engine so I'm securing new parts for the new build. Once this one is done I want to get a 2nd Gen TA and do a build on it.


Kinda skimmed through I didn't see what engine you decided on.
