MSD6 BTM needed?
Is a Boost Timing Master needed when running a LSX computer and harness with a supercharged application, or does the LSX already have that built in?
I'm still not certain if I should just keep the LTX PCM and run an optispark with a BTM, or make the conversion over to LSX. I know my tuner would rather tune with the LSX system, but at $1700+ and switching to a single timing chain, I don't know if it'll be worth it. Anyone done it successfully yet?

So I wont need anything with the LSX conversion? Will the LSX PCM pull timing proportionally to the boost?
Will 80lb/hr injectors be too much for a D1SC 383 making around 700rwhp or will 60's suffice?

BBL? EFI Live will work great too.

BBL=Black Box Logging- The ability to log and tune using the handheld FlashScan. You can log runs take it to your computer, make adjustment then reload a tune all without a laptop. It's great for someone like me who only has a desktop.
About how much do you have in your LSX conversion? I think I figured around $1700 minimum. Also do you use the drive by wire throttle body? I don't know if that would work with my Accufab 4150 style TB but it sure would make it easier.

LSx PCMx can only handle up to a 63lb injector. There may be a way to trick it like tuning for boost on an LTx PCM but the tables only support a 63lb injector.
I'm planning to do the LSx PCM swap once I build my turbo setup. It's years away though.
