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.
