One thing that was pointed out to me, and i think it was mentioned before in this thread, if there isn't a CANBUS module (?) the ECU will refuse to operate???
I have no idea what this module does and why it would be needed. Could the ECU be programed to operate without the CANBUS module? Needless to say, i'm slightly worried... |

I'd imagine BPT have that under control.
Pete(XR9UTE) mentioned in another thread that the BA PCMs reliance on the CANbus (security feature) to operate has been switched off with the Sniper tuning thingo, they put a 5.4 into a GT40 rep using it. I reckon you'll be fine.

I reckon you'll be fine. the CAN (controller area network) is just that, a network. its the devices that are on the CAN that are involved in the security. Namely the BEM which talks to the ignition barrel/key/ecu. get it right you guys 
however, i've been told/heard from several people that the security in the ecu can just be disabled as steady said. i hope bpt pull through with the goods this week! |

Is is going on a dyno at all ?
when are you going to take it down the quarter ? |

I'm assuming the BPT guys will put the car on the dyno to at least check air/fuel ratios and what-have-you. They should be able to give us a final at-the-wheels power figure.
As for taking it down the strip i'll give it a week or so to settle in and do what it has to do, then we'll see. Maybe a low 15 to high 14 second pass? |
