Glenn, Where can I obtain a copy of the Triumphtune manual? How much? Do
you have any aluminum V6's in mind. I have been thinking about a Chevy
2.8L, but am encouraged by the Buick 3.8L, It is bigger than I really need
(no duh) but the inexpensive cost (rebuilt long block and heads $699 from
PepBoys) and the availability of parts is a most definite plus. So what
would it take to get that much HP out of a 1500, would it keep my car
street driveable, what about wear?
Thanks, Patrick
