Switching to Speed Density
No, I took it off, but taking the old one out could be done with it on if you have small enough arms. You can try it with it on, and if you can't get then you just have to take it off.
If anyone knows where i can buy a longer extention wire let me know. Im talking about the stock wire that plugs into the map sensor itself from the stock harness! is the one ill need longer , then ill plug the adapter wire into that for the 2 bar map sensor!

So,Im guessing if im changing to the 2 bar, I can leave my stock map in there on the back of the intake with no problems??? as a plug?? so to speak! and run an extention wire from that stock plug up to where ever i decide on mounting my new 2 bar? Im just thinking why pull the intake for a sensor im never gonna use again that allready in place as a plug!

I'm thinking about making a small right up when I change mine out soon. I should be able to get good pics since I'm switching to an LS6 intake at the same time. 
Nobodys said anything about just leaving the stock map in the intake as a plug so to speak if going to a 2 bar and relocating ?? So im guessing its ok? This way i dont have to pull the intake
Just unplug from stock map, plug in new extention to where i mount my new 2 bar and im good to go, Right?

I believe Katech makes a MAP ext harness. It's made for using the L76 intake manifolds with stock f-body wiring harnesses so it's the length from the rear of the block to the front. Should give plenty of slack if your map sensor is still on the back of the manifold.
1 bar is 14.7 PSI at sea level this would be regular atmospheric pressure
2 bar is 29.4 PSI or 14.7 psi above atmospheric pressure
3 bar is 44.1 psi or 29.4 psi above atmospheric pressure

ok so in an earlier replay it was mentioned that the car wouldnt start when they installed the 2bar map sensor is that true on all F-bodys because my car is going to be SD tuned and tomorrow i will be swaping manifolds to and aluminum one and was going to but the cobalt map in and now i dont know if i should because it wont be tuned for another month or so

Honestly, I'm not sure. I would think it would start, you just wouldn't be able to utilize the sensor's ability to read higher levels. I can't start mine to find out because I swapped in bigger injectors, so mine may start, but won't run for long. Hopefully some of the current SD users can say if I'm wrong or not.
