Disconnect the battery and nothing can/will happen....

It's beyond simple... if you can screw in a light bulb you can do this...

I'd love to help but I'm nowhere near there and I've been working far too much... (Hardly any time to post)

You should ask for help tuning it, the install is simple... I'd wait 'till I had a tuner anyways... drive to the dyno on the stocker, and then do the swap there...

Hey DC, I've been reading and in order to install the power fc you have to cut four wires and you have to worry about solenoids or something? So seems a little more complicated. Anyways, i'm not that far from you only like 20 minutes and I would be the one driving to you. You can get yourself $50 for screwing in a lightbulb

Ther's a tuning thing going on wtih Steve Kahn, I suggest you try to buy a slot for someone that can't make it...

I'm not worried about the wires, and such, I am deathly afraid of you blowing your stuff if the Power FC isn't tuned right...

I also suggest going to R&R in Upland they do that sort of thing in their sleep and steve (different than kahn) has some descent experience forging a basemap to get you putting about town...

And yes I might be close, but I'm also working like a dog... I've just come off a week of 18Hour Work Days... and it doesn't look like it's going to let up anytime soon....
