I would love to do an OBD2 TPI. I am not even concerned about the RPM cutoff that some seem to have a problem with since it will be a cruiser.

RPM cutoff is only a concern with the black box computers found in the 96-97 trucks, Simple solution is to convert to the 411 computer, rev limitor can be removed or adjusted on the 411 as well as FULL tuning abilities with EFIlive.

In time my 85 will be a TRUE MPFI with the LS2 ignition, and a 411 PCM

He should. I'd want it done right if I was running Vortec or LS motor with E trans. Kinda defreats the purpose of OBD2 and having a computer controlled vehicle if you are going to program it to delete most of the features.
