How do you plan to tune the PCM for the new motor and setup?

Northstar TB. Either way you need a throttle body adapter. But 400 is a lot for a M90 setup so you'll need the extra flow

Re: L67 or northstar TB ?
well i can go pretty high in pressure since i will run it on E85 ,, ,, 400 is what im aming for but what ever it will deliver will be better then the series One L67 thats sleeps under the bonnet rigth now and to build performance on that engine isent worth ..MattStrike wrote:Northstar TB.

Re: L67 or northstar TB ?
L67 throttle body is 69mm diameter, Northstar is 75mm.
Which one will work?
1995-older: No
1996-99: Yes, can use either the 3800 MAS (might have to modify slightly) or the Northstar MAS.
2000+: Yes, but need a standalone MAS (such as the LS1 sensor).

It's the same but MAF is the most common in 3800 world.
