thanks for the picture...and just for clarification, bank one and bank two injectors share 1 power source per bank and power is just spliced off to each injector plug from that?

ive done it either way, like

5amps to injector bank one,
5amps to injector bank two,

the more cars i wire, i started combining the two power wires to just a 10 amp, and splitting it in the harness where the injector harnesses split to each side.

they work the same, just less wires and plugs to fuse at the other end of the harness.

oh oh you mean, the power wire going to the whole bank, yeah i take the 4 plugs, for a side of different length since i usually cut them out of a yard..

and then i twist the 4 common color wires together and power them

then i take the 4 colored wires and connect them all to the bank injector driver wire.

Just wanted to say, this is an excellent write-up! I was completely confused about how MS worked and this cleared up any confusion I had. I was just getting ready to start ordering the parts to run a MS1/6010 setup on my boosted foxbody and noticed that they now offer a 3.0 version, would you recommend this over 2.2? What is the differences between them? Also would you still recommend using the ms1 or should I go for the ms2? My build consists of a forged LS1 347, pt88...I would like to run about 18lbs of boost. I'll most likely start out lower and as I feel comfortable up it to 18lbs so MS1's limit of 21lbs shouldn't be an issue. Just want to make sure I'm not losing out on any new features that may be useful in the future.

no worries brother, i will get up with you after the new year...basically what i had to do is document every setting in the base tune you sent me and manually enter the info into my own file..for some reason my MS would not accept the base file...im sure its something i did wrong while loading the file..but at any rate i spent about 2-3 hours building my tune file...learned alot on the process building the fuel tables..auto tune even with just the stim is hooked up automatically sets AFR's to the manually loaded fuel map according to weather its boosted or not....pretty nice..im going to go with that AFR map set and then change to yours and see where im at

well, enjoy the rest of your trip and Happy New Year!
