Commercial version is exactly the same os the Workshop version but with only 2 PCM licences in the box (versus unlimited in the Workshop). You can expand up to 25 licences and they count towards a Workshop licence.

The Personal version is cheaper but much more limiting (no full PCM reflash for example)

UPDATE : Day 2

Chris (Stangkiller) came over this morning and kindly gave me a hand to get the rack out, as well as the hood. While he was here, we had an unexpected visitor

Without further delay, here are the pics.

Florida is full of denizens that just turn up in my driveway or garage!!


Check out its Kung Fu pose !!


Modified my lower radiator hose as per ECS instructions


Got the demon rack out with the help of Chris & PB Blaster

Next up - remove crank pulley (bolt already removed), remove a/c pulley and replace with ECS custom


And modify the ps pulley (with a Sawzall)


Then drop drivers side header to get at the oil temperature sender

Have you always done your mods on jack stands? No hoist?

Stephen,

Glad to see you are doing well, somehow I knew you couldn't wait for the new motor to try out that blower.

Looks like you're ready for Tigershark ?

Take care,

Dave

No lift


Jackstands work fine - I did my tranny on jackstands and we swapped Stangkiller's front cradle on jackstands, no worries


And re: marital rules - been there and done that. I think I'll pass for the nonce

UPDATE : Day 2 continued

Assembled and torqued the new crank pulley and pinned the crank



The ATI crank pinning tool. It is quite different from the ECS and A&A tool as this tool pins vertically rather than horizontally. For a pulley that is already keyed, this is the way to go. If using the stock pulley, you have to use the ECS/A&A method.


From below the engine, looking upwards


Hole drilled all the way through


Crank pinned - good to go


Pulley installed and torqued to spec. Next up - ECS pulleys
