Put simply, an LS powered XP would be a death trap. Even with Shelby drop and a R&P conversion it would still be death. no way.
you cant use MAP on ITBs due to poor vac signal. I'm use there is an apha-N mode the 808 can run in, thats whats used when tuning ITBs
don't tell Toyota that with their Black top 20v 4AGE.
folks who run MAP and ITBs run a signal from each TB post butterfly to a 'plenum' of sorts which in turn feeds the MAP sensor.

and if MAP doesn't work tune via TPS ala the early shitty dribbletechs :)

Spot on. They use a plenum post butterfly.

As I posted previously, this is the plenum used for MAP tuning ITB.
