Thanks for the props man! I am going to get a real tune so please don't get me confused with somebody who is wreckless and doesn't care, because like has been said already, I have way too much invested into this car! The mail order tune was just so I could get it in the ball park and have it driveable till I do get another tune.
That sounds a lot more reasonable than your original "I'll take my chances". It's not that people are knocking you or your set-up, it's just FI is touchy and it would be terrible to see you go blow your engine just because your tune wasn't spot on, it happens more often than you think.

thanks guys! This is the kind of feedback I like to see. I got the interceptor in and there is nothing for watching knock? I thought there was? I was really surprised to see the IAT around 125 for just cruising in traffic, damn! I'll yank out a few plugs and maybe post up some pics so I can get some feedback on them. I don't really know how to read them.

Funkybird,
There actually is a way for you to read LT1 KR (Knock Retard). If you go into the options under knock retard and select the 2nd knock retard option (the 2nd line option under knock retard is for the LT1) it should start working. I had the same problem, not sure if this works on the GEN I aeroforce gauge or if you need the GEN II (I have the GEN II gauge) ? Can you take a pic or two of the HCM ( Headlight control module ) and where you place that item. I'm curious to see where the HCM is being relocated on T/A's (LT1's) to accomodate the piping in the driver's front.
