Looks great man, really starting to come together. It's weird seeing those coils on a chevy motor haha.

No offense man, but why are you going with MS? Hp tuners would seem much more appropriate and I think you would have an easier time getting it running perfectly.
I am doing an LQ4 swap into my supra and the HP tuners route is the one I am taking, you can even use a truck ECU and tune it like a standalone. Before the swap I ran an AEM EMS but with the stock option being just as good I opted for it.
HPTuners has a much steeper learning curve than MS, doesn't have any aux IO, can't be tuned on the fly without stopping to shut off the car, the custom OS's are less than satisfactory, and you're stuck with stock sensors.
Anyone who has knowledge in MS would be a fool to use HPTuners instead.

I have never met someone running a MS system that was not constantly messing with settings and that was as reliable as a factory tune.
I think plugging in a factory ecu is about the flattest learning curve on the planet. For the stock sensors, great! most of the guys running aftermarket EMS run GM sensors anyway. There are hundreds of thousands of people that rely upon the GM EMS system everyday. I for one don't like monkeying with anything once I get it together and tuned after the first time.

Oh, so that must be why 95% of my customers who try to tune HPTuners on their own throw in the towel and bring their car to me to get un****ed. Come talk to me when you've learned how to tune an E38 PCM on 82lb injectors, then tell me how flat the learning curve is.
I have a fairly decent background in tuning
Why do fuel injection at all? Put a carb on it and live with mediocrity? More people rely on carbs than HP tuners .
Straight to dyno and a tuner that knows what he is doing.
