What do I need?

Also where can you get a baseline tune??

Very Noob questions I suppose. Enlighten me Por Favor.

 

IF you are keeping the stock ECM also call horsepower connecttion in WA he has a harness to interface everything........as for the tune I may have something for you...whats the motor combo its going on??

 

For now it's just a cam only setup. But I need to get something for tuning and I will eventually turbo the car so I figured upgrading would work best in the long run. I don't like to upgrade only to have to upgrade again. Do it once, do it right.

I'm much more in the planning/researching phase than the purchasing phase. Just trying to find the best/cheapest/smartest route. And yes, I know it isn't cheap. but I'm not planning on ever eclipsing quadruple digits so all out is unnecessary.

 

I've also considered this as well but to use the stock ecu.. Is there anyway to use a crank trigger and ditch the opti completely with the fast setup?

 

If only Fastbird was around...his T/A has the XFI setup.
I think RealQuick on LTXTech knows something about the XFI stuff as well.

 

Thats what I did and many others too.

Brian Macy from Horsepower Connection is a super nice guy willing to answer emails, calls and anything at pretty much anytime of the day. He built my piggy back harness for the XFI/Stock PCM combo. If I did it again I'd go full stand alone and just make a new dash. You lose tach with a piggyback.

If you dont mind me asking.. How much did it all run you? do you have part numbers for everything?

 

I got my box for $1500 or so, dizzy was $380, crank trigger $200*, coil, wires etc + harness. Maybe like $2700 or something. I dont remember off hand.

 

yep i did that on mine........now im putting togheter a cam sync dizzy out back in the intake so i can run SEFI again.....
