Hell no. Car doesn't even know what snow looks like as far as I know. It was delivered in CA, lived there for 5+ years, then moved to AZ, lived there for a few years. It has been in MN for about 10 months, mostly as a garage queen due to a few simple, but broken, parts.
Giant truck =daily driver in crappy weather, winter, when stealth is down.
Stealth = preferred daily driver when not being worked on and weather = good.

Essentially everything that works for a DSM (piggyback wise, no dsmlink) works for the 3/s, some better than others. The goal is to size the injectors larger than factory to compensate for the fuel difference, account for some headroom for the raised boost pressure, and pull signal to lean it out and bump up timing. Should prove to be entertaining and a challenge. Worst case scenerio is it doens't work, I sell the S-AFC and throw in an AEM.

The goal is as cheap as possible. Ryan's car was very simple from a modification perspective, except for the custom transmission work. Bolt on turbo's, bolt-on manifold, AEM EMS, fuel, clutch, exhaust, removed crap, FMIC, and pump gas.
My approach will be similar but trying to do it without the expense of the AEM for now. Eventually I'll go standalone, but I want to see what I can accomplish with minimal $$ invested.
