GM's implementation of 6811s aren't entirely by the book, especially anything earlier than a P6. a lot of things feel kind of hacked together, whether by time/cost constraints/etc or something else, if nothing else it would be an experience in seeing how if you have a reasonable idea of how something CAN work, you can probably make it work after about 10 code revisions and a few layers of drywall compound and paint.

the monte carlo is mine, her current ride is a V660, but not a GM design. 94 Ford Probe GT with a Mazda KLDE engine. it's an incredibly compact 2.5L DOHC 60V6 and sounds fantastic spinning at 7000... when it's running. the electronics on it and running it are kind of infuriating at times, I'm having to replace the distributor in a few days because it has the coil, a crank sensor, a cam sensor and the coil driver all integrated into one unit, so when any part of it fails, you buy all of it. there are some parts out there to rebuild it on your own(which i'll likely do with the unit I'm pulling off), but at some point I'm likely going to rip all of that out and adapt a GM 60V6 DIS setup to it.

her first car was a 90 grand prix 3.1, which is where I started cutting my teeth on tuning. after screwing around with the calibration using existing XDFs for a while, I disassembled the BIN(after many, MANY attempts) and started trying to understand the code behind it. I then found it much more fruitful to update to the code used for the 91 model year cars since it had an internal GM document released that described the entire calibration area, so I repeated the disassembly process with those calibrations and really started grasping how it worked. a few months after that, I started the nAst1 project(which I've kind of left hanging at the moment to try and iron out basic P66V6 stuff). that car is gone now(so much Michigan rust), but we have a 91 grand prix w/3.4DOHC that I have to reassemble which will be running on nAst1 with an internally modified 16149396 PCM.

honestly, I think i have too many concurrent projects.
