trying to run the map hose thru the firewall. got the rigged grommet and the hose Tee'd off, but theres a bunch of padding blocking the hole. Is it safe to drill/cut into that foam without hitting wires? Or does someone have a better spot to run the map sensor hose?

yeah i got it finally lol. the right side of the plastic/insulation wouldn't fold over, so running my hand up in there was a bitch.
now im having problems with the com port lol. com3 is the female VGA port, ive tried com1,2,and 4 none of them have worked. read the sticky about comports, guna download the up to date safeware and firmware tomorrow and should have it running.

got them communicating finally. did a software update and it worked fine . loaded the base map for 96-97, didnt start but im 97% sure my battery is just dead, charging it then trying again.
but for reference, im running a 2000 head, 2000 intake manifold, simple ddm works intake, stock header, 2.5" test pipe and 2.5" exhaust, stock injectors. the basemap should work fine...... right?

But yes, the basemap should be fine, but a wideband should be your next investment.
Edit: gonna have to agree with hustler. I drilled a new hole lower in my firewall close to the transmission tunnel because I had to run new MAP, IAT, and TPS lines. It makes things a ton easier to put it in a spot thats easily accessible while you're messing with your wiring.

I'm sure you mean 14.3 because you went into the MS configurator and set it up for whatever wideband you're running, after you configured the output to report 0-5:10-20...which can't read any leaner than 10.0:1.

got it installed, base timing done. it runs SOOO much better now, ill have to record a log and post it up so you guys could see if anything dumb is happening.
what other simple things should i adjust with it? i calibrated the tps.... it idles kinda high, 1200rpm and thats after i turned the idle-screw all the way over.
