It has been a long journey and I am at the stage to start and tune.
I am going to have questions and any help would greatly be appreciated.

Details of my install.

My philosophy for the build was to run what I have and if successful maybe a 2056 someday along with the improvements I learn, an ongoing work in progress.
I started this journey because I was chasing a non-idle issue, at random it would not hold an idle. I hope it does not continue to haunt my MS install.

Hardware
FI stock 1.7 plenum/runners
Fuel pump – newer Bosch replacement that was running my 1911, current set at 35 psi, is this good for MS?
IGN Coil - wasted spark VW 4 tower
TPS - Bosch 3 wire
Injectors - five O, high high impedence 255 cc injectors
CLT and IAT by GM – Dubshop, CLT mounted on ring terminal at #3 cyl, IAT mounted on intake tube of the air cleaner.
Crank sensor - 36-1 VR wheel made by McMark
IAC - PWM 3 wire
MAP - GM 1 bar
WBO2 – 14point7 spartan 3 mounted on a tailpipe clamp

Software:
MS2E 3.4.4 Firmware
current tune - I downloaded from a member, I have since updated the sensors/engine/inj parameters, but will be using his tables for now.

I have verified spark with coil test mode.
I have been playing with the #1 tooth BTDC, was 290, will try 72 next.

Running MS Lite, so first question what is the recommended software package to purchase, do I need the Ultra, Mega log viewers, HD or just the registered version is enough.
I just want to tune the car, not a racer trying to squeeze every last drop of HP.
Smooth drive ability is the goal.

Thanks in advance to the community.....

Ted

Clean setup! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I never got to finish my project as I have moved on to a /6 with Motronic.

@JamesM is very knowledgeable so is @GregAmy who has a nice build thread.

Will be watching your progress, cool stuff! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

It's long, but it has all my answers, parts lists, and build details including wiring diagrams.
