You will need someone with a tuner program to rewrite some of the files. Either have zzp send you a top swap pcm, or get it tuned yourself. You need to mix files, and it helps to have all of the files on hand from a gtp. I'm running most of the GTP info in mine, with the stock tranny settings left in it.

No, you want to get the info from a GTP or a supercharged monte, not the computer.

Yes I know what I need for most part didn't have enough time to pull the heads and then woman at crazy rays junkyard tried to charge me 140.00 for tensioner pulley and bracket and for two valve covers....but yet I got the supercharger and intake manifold for 115.00 for both so go figure how did she come up with that is beside me but I need to know how this map sensor hooks up and what harness adaptors I would need to do this job

The map is hooked up by another wire you need to get. I think zzp sells the wiring kit.

I don't know how much different montes are from prixs, but on my 04 prix, I used the stock map sensor wiring. I then plugged the map sensor directly to the nipple on the LIM under the snout.
