Thoughts on a '04 LeSabre build

[hensleya1]

Any plans for the trans ?

Shift kit until the stock trans lets go. Then a TEP build, whatever level trans has the 300M and 7/8" chain. I'll keep the stock, ahem, 2.86 gears. I figured I'll be doing about 108 at the 2-3 shift...

The build is looking like it'll be a 3.2 or 3.4 top swap with 1.9 roller rockers and intercooled. I have everything but an intercooler pump and injectors... I think.

Does anyone know where I can find a dhp bin file for an 04 LeSabre? (Scotty - you mentioned something about a drop box?)

theres 04 bins in the drop box. if you need one ill email it to ya. or the whole drop box link.

id post my db, but bills got broken due to high traffic, aka db killed his links to it. seems everyone just clicks the link if they need stuff or not.

If you care to pm or email the whole Dropbox link that would be awesome. Some day I'll host my own website and post all the bins there for public benefit lol

A few updates and more questions:

1) The downpipe is center, or pretty close to it. So I won't have as much trouble getting headers to work. Although I'll still probably need to drive to the nearest exhaust shop and say "Fix it", it won't be nearly as involved as originally thought.

2) The OSID for this car is supported in HPT but not DHP (although that isn't the case for all 2004's). Go figure.

3) What kind of injector connector does this car use if it's not EV1 and it's not EV6? I'd really like to not splice wires if I can help it...

edit: Multec 2. More parts to order. More money lol

you can flash a supported bin to your cars pcm, osid dont matter really. doing this you need to do a security learn, but you can make that a 10 second key to run and off and its done. thats in the bin file security folder.

Going to be doing a bunch of reading. Probably going to procure an AVT box at some point. I've been looking at all the files, playing around with tiny tuner, etc.

Just as well because I'll need about $1000 more to get the parts needed to finish the top swap. For now the car has a shift kit and drives great... it stays slow until further notice. Maybe a month or so.

Hmm....
