DFI showed up today...

Bought an Accell setup off the board.. And have Accell engine harness.

Now, the harness plugs directly into the box, and the 4 pin weatherpak is for calmap. My question is, what's the 6pin weatherpak for? does it plug into an MSD box and/or distributor? Could somebody shed some light on this?

That connector is for something called a POWERTUNER. It lets you adjust idle and WOT fuel in teh car w/o a laptop. It costs 175. Totally not worth it since you can buy an old laptop that will enable you do do much more for about the same.

With Accell no longer servicing the Gen VIs, prices will be dropping. 2-3 months ago I called the repair shop, and they said they no longer had the parts to fix them. Some of the chips have been discontinued for along time.
