Wondering of anyone can shed some light on some questions I have…(jnj,lz etc) Called new era about tuning an itb set up on an ls2. They seemed pretty iffy about the whole deal, ha. Can’t blame them. Anyone have any experience with this, or have heard any stories? Car NEEDS to be on hp tuners and will NEED to be inspect able. Is alpha n possible with hp tuners? Is a factory ecu capable of being tuned via tps signal only? I’ve already spoken to some people about this whole deal, no REAL answers. Lots of “you don’t need those” “don’t bother”…I’m not looking for that, I want answers. ---

You could probably make it work tuning it speed density…Just do the 1 BAR SD OS. Idle might be interesting since the IAC valve is built into the stock throttle bodies Did you check LS1tech? I started searching I was curious about MAP placement and a few other things. However it seems other people have done it on the stock PCM so rock on :tup: ---

Very few results that help. Yes most do it on stock PCM so I’m pumped on that. I think the idle is going to suck balls anyways.

Find someone who had it work and PM them on LS1tech usually people are really helpful. It’s probably out of the comfort zone of a lot people because they can’t steal a tune off the internet change a few things and slap it on your car. What year PCM are you using? ---

i see only 2 issues … 1 … idle air … no clue how to make that work 2 … TPS … again … very doable … what are you using for throttle linkage … if you grab a couple sets of busa,zx14, … etc … im sure that would be a great start to help ---

Not sure yet. Tps will be easy, as it just needs to attached to the linkage some how haha I have the throttle bodies already, so no need to rape any sport bikes. ---

There are such a thing as remote-mount idle air control valves…just need vacuum source from each of your ITB’s piped in to it. ---

Good deal. Thanks for the advice. Reasons to stay away from the 98 PCM? Just curious. I’m going to need all the tip yelling I can get. Pm me, we can have a man date when I on the home stretch ---

Pm me, we can have a man date when I on the home stretch Its slower…Has dual VE tables…Has a number of other OS limitations…Not many custom OSs…Can’t do live tuning. 01-02 is really the best when it comes to F-body PCMs. ---

I think you might be SOL with HP Tuners, but I have EFI Live and I believe there is an Alpha-N custom OS for some year PCMs. Do a little research on the Harrop intake [http://www.harrop.com.au/eng\_detail.php?prod=99-AMFD7817-00-55MM](http://www.harrop.com.au/eng_detail.php?prod=99-AMFD7817-00-55MM) It has ITBs but it also has every TB tied together for a MAP signal and IAC idle ---

Just do 1 bar speed density with a 99+ PCM. Like LZ said 01-02 are the best… I think you can do Alpha-N with the newer PCMs with HPTuners. Pictures of intake and TB? I’ve always wanted to do that… ---
