I unplug the PCM completely it is still there.

Just having alot of fun with the project.....its an addiction.....
I try not to cut corners...do it right or dont do it at all...

Tom the last project went well with the Big Stuff 3, Low 9 sec with 18lb boost. The BS3 will also control the 4L60E but I can't offer any help with the dash. Let me know if you need any more info.

well guess what???
spent the day working on the hp eio 2 bar. i have blitz sbc id ii and hp data log my lc-1 Wb READY PERFECTLY!.
I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW SMOOTH MY CAR RAN!!! i data logged for a little under 100kpa and a/f# looked decent.
i even had a chance to open the electric cutouts and OMG, what a difference as far as spool! and iam not even talking about at any boost just absolute (0).
after driving for 10 to 15 minutes i felt the top side of the hood and it wasnt even hot. then i felt the hood liner w/heat relective stuff that i installed and WHOW what a difference in temps
ill start more tuning tomorrow and evenings of next week!
BTW people that stated that my car would be a dog off boost cause of compression @ 8.37----- ah no! just think, ill really get those t4 to work

good to hear Nick!!! I spent the late afternoon taking a nice 100mile drive along the coast in a fairly warm day in cali.. Heat was definitely not an issue and my afr's are getting closer and closer to commanded.
Just like you, the car's purrin like a kitten in SD. Got brave enough to get her into boost (6psi) just for a moment and afr stayed steady at 11.8 while she pulled smoothly and strong.
Are you doing the VE tuning, if so how do you like it?
