So this is what I'm working with.

Picked it up not to long ago. Not the first time I've worked with a VQ,
however I'm liking the sound of a v8.
Basically I'm looking into the Ls2 swap and need some insight on what exactly I'm getting myself into.
Yes, I know I need a conversion kit, motor, transmission..I'm not an idiot. What I'm trying to do is
pick up some knowledge on the tuning for everything, and what all I need to upgrade.
Any advice, readings, really anything that will get me closer to my goal would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You can get a truck 5.3 or a 6.0 and mod it and make the same power or more then a ls2. you can use the truck or camaro harness and pcm. But with modification making the harness like a stand alone and removing the pats system from the pcm. Also you can use a megasquirt set up. You will have issues getting the factory gauges to work, The gm tach signal is the same as a 4cyl. So the tach will be off on a factory 6cyl car like your 350z for example. Also depends on what accessories you want to keep a.c/ p/s. getting it to fit and run are the easy part.
