prepare to switch the harness tail light to headlight.then you need a tech 2 to reprogram the bcm and do a relearn on the lsj ecu.To much work.Build the **** out of your current engine,turbo it,tune it and call it good.It will be cheaper.

The BCM and ECM communicate.I don't think a standalone can communicate with BCM's and it will throw a BCM code for "lost communication with ECM" Or "ECM lost comunication with ECM".Everything talks to everything.Why do you think a tech 2 is needed if you replace your stock stereo with another stock stereo?I could be wrong as I don't care for standalone since I'm not building a true race car that will need a stand alone.
And build is at hault right now since I'm working my ass off.I get off early tomorrow so I will finish the head and try to get to the bottom end and I have sunday off so a full day there.We will see how far I get as I am doing this with no help.All by myself.
