Great info, thanks! Any idea why the stock computer can't do the job?

The LX cars use a "CAN Bus" system to send all the information around the car , integrating nearly every piece of electronics together. While great from a performance/convenience standpoint, terrible from a hot rod perspective since you need nearly every piece of wiring from the donor car.
