I modified a factory harness for my transplant. Removed all the trans, a/c, etc. wires and rerouted it to make it cleaner. I'm also using the factory PCM. I bought HPTuner kit. I've learned a lot. Modified my GTO and truck programs. But tuning VE map and timing is a lot more complicated than I thought it would be. I'm thinking that I'll switch to Holley system when I upgrade from the 5.3. I also need to get a wideband gauge.
