Now, to define what I have done:
* LTCC - $399.00 * LS1 coils - $600.00 (I don't remember, will have to check archives) * Taylor wires - $60.00 * 2nd LTCC harness - $125.00 - this was because the belt grabbed and kill the original * DynaSpark without cap/rotor - $495.00 * Cool aluminum brackets for coils - $130.00 * Misc Opti harness bits - $80.00
Total: $1829.00
EFI Connection has a cute thing called "Quick Quote" with outlines all the bits you need for that job.
For an 1985-92 Camaro, they quote $1815... however that harness is a different animal and you would have to talk to them.
As for all the work I have done, the smog numbers are impressively low. I still have a stock engine, but next year, when I rebuild, we will see how well this combo works out!
That is a lot of money. I understand the merit, but $1800 can buy a supercharger or something else.
When I lived in MA, and we uses the California emissions standards on the dyno (im240 or whatever they called it) I had tuned out some pretty impressively low part throttle, idle, cruise tailpipe numbers.
I think for his car, he can do what he wants for under $200.
