Another where to start question

[meangreen]

Hello,

So I am unhappy with my SCT software, and I am in the process of investigating other PCM options. Right now atop my list sits Accel DFI, but the money is tight and I don't know If I can swing it. I am starting to investigate an MS setup.

I am confident that I can tune the vehicle, but I am concerned about the installation. More importantly I need to find out exactly what I need to do some comparison shopping.

Here is my setup:

1998 5.2l 5spd dakota with all the usual bolt-ons, heads, cam
42# injectors
Vortech V1 S trim
Innovate Wideband

My desires:

Tune on the fly
2-bar map
use my larger primary injectors
control IAC
Control spark
Control Fuel
Minimal installation time: I am OK spending a couple of days wiring, but I only really get 1 day per week to work on the truck, so a 5 day installation will take me more than a month

Could you help me come up with a parts list?

I put together a shopping cart on your site of around $515 worth of stuff (below). What else do I need?

MSII pcb 3.57 assembled
Wiring Harness
tuning cable
stimulator assembled v 2.2

We can set up a custom unit that will control spark using either a crank trigger or a Lean Burn type distributor. We're still trying to hash out exactly what's needed to control spark with the Magnum motors.
