There's more than just Galveston FYI 
Sooo.... I have a 02 ECU here.... No limp mode? I can give a fck about codes, just want full functionality.....
Sunroof?
Yup. TCM was saying **** this. Not the ECM...
So for future full swapers that want/have to use the AT ecu, as long as you are using a manual tranny, you can mix and match however you want really. The ecu doesnt need a signal from the TCM for the motor to function. CAN lines don't matter either.

@ Mr Warbrgarbl.... Sooooo I got another ride in a G-Coupe......
I can actually fit into that car better than the Z.
And it's not bad....
Or I could have been drunk
Time for some vehicular research

I agree, what were you taught though? I think this is good convo for the community. if not here, somewhere else.
A lot of misconception/misunderstanding/miscommunication happens and never gets discussed.
But in simple terms:
Basically, big asz wheel/drum taht weighs x, let' see how fast this car can get it to spin with respect to time.
Dynojet anyhow.

But my natural logic tells me that if the rollers on the dyno accelerate faster, numbers should be higher. Dynos measure WHEEL HP right? So if these items help transfer power to the wheels better, wouldn't it show up on a dyno?

I agree. But basically, from research on here and elsewhere and through word of mouth, mods such as lighter wheels, under drive pulley, LW flywheel that doesn't directly increase engine output won't show gains on the dyno. Even if it makes the car accelerate faster.

We can say, to keep it simple, it all comes from the same thing and produces the same thing.
I suppose after a certain speed (MPH), wheel weight wont matter, so the torque thing might hold some water, but, I still think lighter wheels and tires make more of a difference vs UDP and FW.
It's just like saying ETL & PUR Bushings dont add HP, they just get it to where it's supposed to be better, that one i can buy too.

The guy that is doing my flywheel. One of the best, most knowledgeable, creative tuners/builders I've ever meet in my life. A lot of my knowledge comes from him.

It's not aquiring the FW that's the issue.
The problem is that the 3.0 and the 3.5 uses 2 completely diferent crank signals. Your 3.5 crank sensor can't read the 5MT flywheel. On top of that, if i'm not mistaken, the way the ecu interperets the signals are different too. So you can't just splice in the other sensor. I thought about using some sort of resistor/inverter/another watchamacallit to trick the signal. But I know nothing about that.
What you would have to do is take the crank ring off the 6MT FW and adapt that to the 5MT FW
