    Ok it's time to let blue go, she's starting to develop skin cancer (rust) so I found a 98 gt shell no rust and was gonna swap everything over. Any issues I should be made aware of?

    Well. Jerznick would tell you to disable code P1260 for the high speed pump relay you won't have when you use the SC tune. Otherwise..no ..no issues. Have fun.
