Alright I cant make up my mind on what i want to do wiht my car my cars got over 200 thousand miles on motor so its tired so I been debating on another 2v or 4v i know if i did a 4v i have to change computer but can i keep my wiring hardness or have to swap that too and i mean its pretty straight forward exhaust computers my old tranny will fit so basically its what i should do i just want your guys opinion on this thanks...

I'm running my stock wiring harness and computer with my 4v swap, just an SCT dyno tune because of the larger injectors.

Id do a little research but I dont see why not. I think they make a tuner for the LSC which is 4 valve but automatic...

there's nothing in the computer that says "self destruct if a 4v"

you'd just want a retune mainly to raise your shift points, and for the computer to properly work with the 24lb injectors. That's in, there's nothing magical about a 4v compared to a 2v, they have all the same sensors required to run.

you dont want to change the computer, because the PATS anti-theft is tied to the key, PATS ring around the ignition cylinder, and the computer. Change one and it's broken and the car won't start.
