Default Map sensor help

I'm in the search for a 2.5 bar map. I have read around that it's easier to tune with a 2.5 than it would with a 3 bar sensor. I bought a map from a zr1 and it doesnt fit my harness nor does it fit the hole on the fast 102 manifold. I found the harness to connect it to and I can drill the hole. But before I do that. Is there a map anyone recommends that fits the hole and fits the original harness that' a 2.5 bar? Part number would be great.

Who told you a 3 Bar would be harder to tune?

Sounds like you need a new tuner

Thanks for the info guys. Like mentioned, no tuner was involved with this information. Just stuff I have read. I don' really have a tuner at this point.
