Hey Jake,
Thank you for the reply. My 2.5td is pumping out around 87 bhp new I believe. It was rebuilt in Italy before it was shipped over four years ago. I am not looking for high performance, just decent performance to add some drivability so I can take it around the state and not have to tow it to where I want to enjoy it. I am intrigued by your engine/trans combo. I have the LT77 and it is pretty noisy at higher speeds the few times I have actually been above 50 mph. It is uphill in every direction here where I live. I understand that it is not a highly refined or precise trans. There are a lot of articles and videos out there you are probably aware showing the Ls3’s, Cummins R2.8, etc. I am not really interested in making my 110 a powerhouse since I am certain that would just cause issues in other areas that were never designed deal with an abundance of power. I would be interested in taking a ride with you sometime. I could buy you lunch/dinner and top off your tank.
Thanks again for reply.
John
