    Easily. Just takes a good deal of money and little bit of time. Check out performancetrucks.net for more specific info on what computer you need.

    If you're doing this more for a street truck (as opposed to towing) I may go with something different, like a TKO500 or T56.

    '92 Sierra (TBI 383/Vortecs/Comp 08-412-8/EBL/4L60/3.08s), '78 Malibu (Vortec'd 350/4-speed/2.29s), '87 Pontiac Fiero GT (2.8 v6/5-speed)

    NV4500 isn't all that sporty.
