    2.5 LM cals

    Just wondering if anyone knows of anybody doing 2.5 cals for a LM? Seems like Paul is plenty tied up, Gary used to do them but he's been gone awhile. I don't see anything on FWD's site, and C.I.'s old website seems to be down. Any other options? I'm brutal with wiring so would hate to take on a SMEC conversion just to get the car running like it should.
    It's doing alright on the Stage II with +20's but the more boost I run, the more dicey it gets.

    You might want to ask someone on the ChEM website or on DCal. They might be able to help you out. and Sorry to hijack but would you happen to have the drivers side rear brake caliper off that Shelby Z and was it working? I dropped mine on the concrete garage floor and now it's broken. Sorry again for the hijack.

    1.) Run a 2.2 cal and turn the fuel pressure up a bit. Not the best way, but it'll work.

    2.) Burn your own PROM.

    Call cindy. She does them but does not have them listed on her website. She even makes a trimcal for the 2.5 too.

    Thanks for the input. The +20's and retarded timing run it alright but it is pretty rich at idle and leans out as the boost rises. If I keep the boost down it runs fine really. But who wants to run around on 12 psi all the time? hehe
    I'll check into FWDP first since I won't want to be pestering people for new chips all the time if it needs doctoring. Where thats really part of the purchase if you get it from a vendor.

    And unfortunately the brakes are going with the car. For the most part I pulled the 89 brake setup and put the 88 setup back on it. Then pulled the engine and trans and sold the shell. I do know there's an 87 Shelby Z in one of the local yards though. Calipers were in good working condition a couple months ago when it was running and driving.
