    I think the increase in Opti Issues is a quality issue. My OEM Opti in my 97 Comp T/A was still going strong when I replaced it during my CC503 Cam Swap back in 2006. The new one I replaced it with the optical sensor is already going back. First started with Ignition breakup around 5900rpms and over time it starts around 4300RPMs. I've had my eye on the TH kit for a few years. I suppose I should get on it.
    EDIT: As a side note, what was the lead time on your kit? I know they're having supply issues right now and people are looking at 20+ days

    I noticed someone asked you on instagram about 93 LT’s & this won’t work on them, but you upgraded yours to the 97 is this because it’s made for the Spline drive Opti ? & is it a complicated process upgrading to the spline drive? Thanks man.

      David Mayhorn I upgraded motors so I have a 97 motor and wire harness and dash I swapped it all so now I can run the 24X kit. But I do believe you can swap a 93 opti to a newer style but not for sure on what you have to change out!

My question to you is did you use the stock rubber insulators that go into the rubber front shock mounts?? I replaced all mine with brand new ones.. the only thing is the new rubber shock mounts don't come with the rubber insulators. But the Umi brackets come with a groove that the rubber shock mounts slide into... So I'm thinking I won't need the rubber insulators??? ....

  • @whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306

    $2200 seems like a lot until you see all you get with it. I will start saving so I can be ready if the opti ever goes on my 95 TA. I think the last owner replaced the opti so it may be a while. I do plan on doing wires but dreading the thought. I have a little miss off idle sometimes.

    • @zaknefain100
      @zaknefain100 Рік тому

      It's a hard sell if you're on a limited budget. The 0411 swap gets rid of the opti's optical portion, where most of the issue lies anyways and gets you into something like HPTuners. $2200 buys an awful lot in the way of porting and valvetrain.

    very nice .. I am sure the 24x is top-notch but, I still can't see spending over 2k ... I have tormented myself over this time and time again ... and I still can't do it when a ltcc system is a 1/4 of the price because my experience once you take the spark out of the opti it lasts forever ... if you use it as a trigger wheel for the ltcc system. other options at this price range that i a, looking to in the future is Holley EFI which is some much more capiable then a gm pcm for big power ... sorry just ranting
