What I cant get my head around is how the ZR1 MAP sensor hooks up? Does it replace the stock sensor (is that a MAF or MAP?) and if not, how do you go about logging the data from it?

I probably shouldn't be worrying about this stuff so early on. I'd just like to get any bungs gauges and sensors installed and tested before hooking up the s/c

You have to do it at the same time. The wiring comes with the kit. Read through the install instructions to get an idea. Pretty sure they are on edelbrock site. It's a very complete kit and you don't really need extra stuff.

If you are just buying and bolting on an eforce, then just do it. No extra stuff needed. No wideband or anything IMO.

That's all you gotta do....
NO BELT PROBLEMS....NO WHINE.... NO WORRIES.
100,000 mile service interval where you worry about nothing.
NO changing the oil and killing your engine oil.
Just do it!
And call me after you get bored and I'll set you up with a CoW BOOSTER! and some other fun tuning.
We LOVE the E-Force!

Sammyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Call me.
As far as t he canned tune....from Whoever... Reason for that recommendation is that when you're 1,000 miles away
or in a foreign country.....or across the street, it's always very helpful to have the blower manufacturers idle tables,
MAF curve, and injector data..... If it's working for them, trust me they spent good time building that data and it's a
huge time saver to borrow that data and other stuff to when remote tuning. We can all build that data but it takes a lot
of time to build and especially when you're doing it remotely, it never hurts to have something to start with.
None of the "canned" blower tunes that come with these systems are aggressive....They CAN NOT be...it would be stupid.
They are always "good enough" for most, and a great starting point for sure.
Sammy, call my office or cell today.... I think my TAN is wearing off.

Don't know how, this COW BOOSTED post should probably be visible from the MOON!! Wait, isn't there's a nursery rhyme about a COW and a MOON??
I'm going to try to call you later today or tomorrow. I know you're busier than a one-legged man in an a$$kicking contest, but I need to get the old Vette sorted out now, so that I can tinker with it some more and throw the tune off again...

I'm curious if OP every completed his build? If so which kit did you go with?
I'm looking to SC my 12 GS M6. Since I have the dry sump I guess I'm in for a little more work regardless of which kit I go with. This will be DIY install over the winter, taking my time. My criteria is pretty much the same as OP, and I don't want to tap the oil pan or make a bunch of cuts here and there.
