Our 99-02 LS1>BS3 Harness does not pass 100% out of the box, but it keeps the subsystems in place for the OBDII to still function. Besides tuning the stock PCM there is a slight modification and it can support the OBDII testing.

I do realize this is a thread about LT1's but the OP has a 94 F-body in his signature, and around here there is no more testing on vehicles that are pre-OBDII.

Speed: I really could not tell you. On my setup with the TH400 its run via the speed sensor on the trans.

Tach no. puts out the same signal as would a MSD box you would run your tach off of.

Well I don't have emissions testing in KY anyways, but hopefully this 1994 will have the LS1 in it some day.

Does BS3 use a speed signal? On your TH-400, did you install a reluctor and sensor? And then you used the LSx wiring harness that you piggybacked, right? On the tach, I kinda thought it would produce the same signal as an MSD like you said, but the individual said it was translated through the PCM. Perhaps it's different in the LTx cars? His was an LT1 car running FAST.
