Order Is Restored I got my MS relay box built & installed. I still have to connect the 12V for the relays & make sure it runs on MS still, but it runs on the PCM side (NC side of the relays for you techies). Whew, now at least I can't get back to work on "the list".
Right now I need to take down Xmas lites to keep the little woman happy.

Damn I was hoping to get a screaming deal on a megasquirt too 
Just kidding ! I hope it finally works the way you need it to. If it does then I want a ride, I haven't been in your car since it was limping along with "only" 5xx rwhp 
I need to see what 6xx hp feels like haha !

And you may still get it Bill. The ride for sure. When the meth kicks in it's FUN!

Come to think of it I have "driven" your car more times than I have fingers and toes and yet I have never gotten a real ride. Maybe you should just have a take a ride in Marks car day and charge admission. Could help pay for the next round of mods.

And here are some pics of the relay box I built. It works in both settings. And I've been tweaking the HPTune....seems to be getting better too.

Oh, and for you tuner-cats, I made the following changes to my tune...both had a desired affect on the idle
Changed Min Inj Pulse Width from 3.997 to 1.7.....probably need to increase this to ~2.0, but it immediately started & idled better (it also changed all of the LTFTs at idle to +25 even tho it ran perfectly)
Changed ALL of the VE Table cells in the idle area to 60....again, I may need to tweak a few up or down 1 or 2 points, but they were ranging from 20 to 55, and this made a BIG difference in the cold surging. All of the idle LTFTs are now at +2.
I'm still looking for the proper Cold Start modifier to make it richer when it's cold so I can lean it out a little if I need to (my car likes running rich, but this combo burns the eyes) but applying what I learned from the MS encounter seems to have helped a bunch.
