I was at Wheel2Wheel last weekend and they had just about every LSx vehicle running BS3. You might try to get Kurt from W2W (forum name: 427) to come in here and explain it for us.

BS3 does offer a stand alone system for the gen 3. It runs on factory sensors. It also has options for running a electronic trans if needed. The base gen 3 system is 2,295.00

i just ordered a BS3 for my Big Blower LT1 build up. Alan Futral recomended it and upon doing some reseach, it looks to be just the best out there.

My C5 is no longer "Fly By Wire", and as far as I know there is no stand alone system that is compatible, thats why I switched to F-body style throttle.

Kurt

Thanks for the info Kurt !, I no longer have the electronic trans either, so I dont really need that part.

Does this system use ANY of the factory harness ? or does it come with everything you need to plug and play ? My car has basically "0" factory electronics. Also, one of my major concerns is the data logger, I was going to go with the Accell Gen 7 DFI untill I found out it can only log like 7 paramaters at a time. I would like to see all things recorded more like the FAST setup.

Thanks again !

It does that and if your car is being wired standalone u dont need any factory wiring.

it was my understanding that this setup works fine with the factory gauges, but in my case I am going all aftermarket so I really can't comment for sure.

That would be a good move seeing that the Big Stuff 3 and FAST system were all built by the same person, and the Big Stuff 3 is much faster and more advanced.
