    How To: Ditch EFI and keep TBI PCM for 4L60E Control.

    How To: Ditch EFI and keep TBI PCM for 4L60E Control.

    OK What about the Load sensor?? The MAP. My understanding it is also needed for good shifting? PS Any chance anyone here ever hooked up a ECM and a TPI intake to a late model and ran either a 4L60e or a 4L80E with Stock PCM to run the transmission like this thread is about? Rich

    Any MPG Fans here??

    Any MPG Fans here??

    "Since the 70’s till now, in all your research and testing, what actually worked with any significant effect?" Other that getting a 2000 Mercury that got 30MPG at 65MPH at 1700RPMs going lean with it netted 35MPG at 65MPH at 1700RPMs. Making a living up unit the past 5 years keep me from any...
