    Ok, I love the idea of some more hp and torque. Especially in a sleeper unmarked GT. I am a little scared of getting in over my head though. Here are some thoughts.

    How much different are the wiring harnesses? Will I have to change the whole thing?

    How many computers boxes do I have to change?

    Will I have to rip the whole dash out of the GT?

    Will the boost gauge be an issue?

    Thanks so much for the help.

    If you just do the transmission, you'll need to get the programmed gear ratio in your PCM changed. Otherwise it will have issues. This is not a problem if you take the whole engine, transmission, and PCM/harness. With that, all you have to do is get your VIN programmed into the new PCM.

    No. It receives data digitally over the OBD2 bus.

    By you saying get the vin programmed - how and who could do that?

    Also does anyone know how big a job it would be to change the harness/computer stuff?

    Will I have to rip the dash out of my old GT?



    thanks
