I could handle getting my ass whipped by a 202 turbo Gemini (soughta) but a fucking taxi with an LS ! That'd hurt

I was thinking turbocharged V6 water pump but the pipes for the water would be too expensive, half a K of 6" high pressure water pipe aint cheap lol.
But an LS water pump would be also cool.

While researching running individually throttle bodies with the Delco 808 I found these to allow for MAP tuning.

They're also available for 4 & 8 cylinder engines.

you cant use MAP on ITBs due to poor vac signal. I'm use there is an apha-N mode the 808 can run in, thats whats used when tuning ITBs
All the more reason to go for an LS !!

yeah pretty sure $12P allows you to do alpha-n, not sure if anyones tried it though ....
also you could use closed throttle VE which is just a set value v's rpm and ignores map, then once its going might have a bit more map and get better results ?
i would love to try DCOE efi just to see how well it can work, but i don't have a direct need, nor the money to do it!
