I'm really surprised that MS isn't more "accepted" among the LS masses. Keep up the good work, Denmah.

Your thread and vids has me intrigued. I have a N/A 99' TA that is a bracket car. I use the MSD6010 on it now, but fueling is controlled by factory PCM that a "tuner" did. I have 100's of passes on the car and a good base line for how it runs.
I'm thinking this would be a good guinea pig to test MS1 on it for me. If I could get it to run similar or hopefully better than the current tune, I may get my feet wet enough to try a turbo on my other car.
What do you think?

yeah man...you are the only one that actually explains everything..like you said in your video, some people just explain bits an pieces...
i too was over thinking this whole setup....i couldnt wrap my head around how the hell the injectors fired correctly when hooked up to the same wire...LOL

haha yep, i love learning, and i like to really know how stuff works, so i can explain it to other people.
the micro2 harness is awesome when you get a look at it.
seems like there is nothing to it.
maybe ill do a video of it, and show all the plugs and functions
but yeah its always bothered me that people show stuff or have something runing but never show how they did it or how it works.
im a super skeptical person to begin with so part of me is like oh, they have it running on accident. hahah
if you cant explain it really well to someone and make sense, or at least be able to explain it in more way than one then you don't understand it, at least that's what i think.

i also love the low cost setups that we can build in our garages that compete with Mr. money bags at the track that has even the simplest things done by a shop and pays big money for it....
i should have my MS1, harness and stimulator sometime this week...it will give me something to do while i am on leave for my sholder surgery im having on tuesday....i do a **** ton of soldering in my job (F-15E weapons system) so im looking forward to it...
once i get to building the harness im sure i will be picking your brain more

nice, a bunch of guys have actually built theirs and then sent me the assembled ms1 to check with my stim and flash with firmware and a tune.
i have the ms1 harness pulled out of my car right now in a box, my friends gunna buy it, i could always snap pics of it or something and show you it.

this is the MS1 harness out of the fairmont...
middle right is the connector that goes into the ecu.. then there are three wires inside that hoop.
RED 12v power to the ecu ( from my fuse panel)
PINK 02 sensor input (from aem wideband output)
and that white sheilded wire with the black and red in it, the white wire inside is the tach input wire, from the MSD output yellow wire, so the ecu knows what RPM its seeing...
next turn is the bottom, that has the blue power wires from the injector banks back fed into the harness, going into the fuse panel again, 5 amps each, if i were to do this over again i would combine and just throw 10amps on both wires to minimize wiring and plugs etc.
that next wad of black wires is all the grounds, wrapped up in a big yellow hoop and grounded anywhere.
all the way up we branch right to the two rows of 4 injector plugs.
and on the left is the TPS, coolant and inlet air temp plugs.
