which straw did you pull

menace121978 · 03-26-2010, 08:52 AM

i went with Current Performance Wiring out in Florida. they completely take out the unused wires and disassemble the harness. they also install a factory looking fuse block and relays, check engine light, new connectors for the 80e, etc.. $450 for a complete job. i mailed it out a few days ago.

i was going through the interior wiring harness and i think i found the tac module for the pedal? i just dont know if the harness for the pedal and tac module are on the interior harness or the chassis harness i sent out?

mcbassin · 03-26-2010, 09:00 AM

great progress!

I have a stand alone harness that runs from the pedal to the tac module. I thinks it like a four or five wire harness about a foot long.

menace121978 · 03-26-2010, 09:18 AM

thanks man... i have to find that.

bigdnew · 03-26-2010, 11:16 AM

so dennis is current performance doing your ecm programming as well and if so are you doing standard tune or performance tune

menace121978 · 03-26-2010, 11:27 AM

yes they are... they are programming the computer to recognize the different tranny, turning off vats and all smog stuff, setting the tire size for speedo calibration, tuning for e-fans, turning off torque management, and i think thats it. $150... keeping the stock tune until she's running.

then there's a big time GM tech/tuner out here named Mark Romans that will do all the performance tuning to get everything i can out of her.

Dennis there is a short harness that goes between the TAC and the pedal and the engine harness plugs into the TAC.
