Aemtuner will adjust for you. Just type in old injectors and new injectors and it will auto scale it.

Once the car is running lower/raise the value in the fuel cell to get the correct A/F on your wideband.

You can use the stock wires, just have to change the ends out for the ones that match the LS coils. You can get them from Summit.

It maybe the o-ring on the Ditsy. I had the same problem and I took the o-ring off of another ditsy I had and it went right in. The o-ring looks to have swollen so it was a bit to big to fit. Might check the o-ring since I had the exact same type of issue.

Right, there will be only 1 wire going back to the AEM from each coil. The rest of the wires on each coil will go to a 12v source and then 2 wires right to gound. It took me a long time to get mine started but It turned out the AEM and the ditsy was not synced correctly. I kept moving the base (sync...

Since you are going to have to run 3 wires from the ECU harness anyway, just run a new wire for coil 1. The stock wire from ECU to coil right now is properly old anyway so why not run it the same time you run the other 3 wires from the ECU. I take it you have a ECU that can run the 4 coils? Just loo...

Are you installing 4 coils or 1 coil? If you are installing 4 coils from the standalone ECU I would just run 4 new wires to go to each coil. If you run 1 coil on your stockish ECU I do not think it will work as you will have to find a way to get the coil back into the cap so it can feed into the 4 p...

I'm definitely looking to see why the #'s are low. The tune is spot on now, but was not before. I was the one messing with the tune the last few years so that may be the cause of the headgasket issue. Once spring comes around I will head back down to the dyno and then hit up the 1/4 drags.
