Default Switching to a 2 bar Map Sensor?

I just put a 2 bar Map Sensor on my turbo'd '98 Camaro to control my progressive meth controller.

Do I need to change anything in my tune to make up for the 2 bar map sensor or will the computer figure it out?

Or is the stock Map a 2 bar?

The car probably won't run. I installed my 2 bar map, and tried to get the car started before changing over the operating system to a 2 bar. The car would start, but wouldn't idle. Do you have some kind of tuning software?

I have LS1Edit. My car starts and it runs fine it just idles kind of funny sometimes. What did you have to change in the operating system?

you replaced your stock map with the 2 bar to make your meth work????

why the heck did you do that?

you just add the 2 bar externally to control the meth system. There is a little voltage drop box to get for it and you just wire up power and ground and hook a vacum source up to it.

That is a damn good idea. I am going to do that. My controller has the 5V output to power the map, so all I have to do is run a ground and run it in my boost line.
