Hey everyone
I'm posting before I buy anything for my newest project so I don't end up buying stuff twice.
Little about me - I work on night vision and anti-tank missles in the Marines, so wiring and troubleshooting is no issue; I've never programed anything before, so I anticipate some stumbling.
My goal is to swap a FI'd 454 w/ twin turbos into some GM roller.
To setup everything, I plan on buying a 1998-2004 GM truck with the mutliport 454. I'll chop and gut until everything fits, turbos, tune the engine while in the donor, and pull it later.
I see the 12200411 mentioned alot - is it a direct swap for the 7.4? What are the benefits? What years don't have it?
What product do I need from HP to do all of this?
Is tuning for boost pretty easy? I know I can do the hardware side of turbos, it's the computer control that's all new to me.
Thanks for any help you can provide - please share any Barney-style videos or links you guys have.
