I have a stand alone "hot rod" harness from Bill at BP auto on here and a 0411 PCM i bought used out of a 00 camaro.


if you're starting from scratch on a pcm and wiring harness Id deff look over denmah's megasquirt info- Im actually considering ditching HPtuners and going to megasquirt.

Cam is user choice- TU1 as mentioned before or call martin at Tick Performance-

I had LilJohn on here help me spec out my cam. Great guy and has had some pretty hot cars make good changes. Martin seems like another that knows what he is doing. I equate the cam as the "brains" of the motor. Very important part to get right imho.

Thanks guys for all the great input! Im going to check out both the Megasquirt and the hot rod hardness from bp, and yea I'm starting from scratch. Now another thing, how about for hot parts? I currently have a ponydown stg2 kit, I think I seen some a thread about a guy running on3 hot parts for a stang and all he did was cut off the ford flange and weld on a chevy flange?

Aje has always been good to me on my fox body builds. I have one in my Fairmont it sits low enough even to put a truck intake on . That's what I would run and there cheap.Price wise

The hi ram may be tough to come by. They do not seem to be able to keep up with demand. I waited 4 months for mine. I would just put in an order with some place like summit or jegs or a sponsor unless you find someone with them on hand.

Honestly I just searched google for the BEST possible price until I found the lowest of the low, clicked price match on Jegs site and got the manifold for over $100 under what they were asking. I do not recall the specific site that I quoted to be honest.

Well I picked up a new standalone harness for a good price. Anyone running the AJE kmember with stock rack & pinion and ls1 power steering pump? Or would i HAVE to go with a flaming river manual rack. Id love to keep power steering if possible.

I am running that combo, but with the corvette pump from a 2002ish vette. I got adapters to convert the pressure line to -6 an line for both the pump and the rack for like $40.
