You can get a GM 3 bar map. I would say go with BS3 or AEM if you go AEM get the 3 1/2 bar map.

I am sure it can be done. BS3 is around that. and AEM you dont need a resistor box to run low impedence injectors. there is a way you can wire them up without it. The AEM is all plug and play

im running 3 bar tune on stock pcm with rc 75# high imp. injectors...

I ran 933rwhp on 101 octane setting with my Duty cycle close to being maxed out... but ya with a converter box and low imp. 96's should do fine, maybe even 83's.
