not at all, I would gut all the engine managment all together, sell electronics on ebay for a quick buck, slap in GM TBI and ECU from a junkyard truck or go full megasquirt for easy tuning, and have a super simple ECU that has tremendous grassroots support.

the whole point of a second crossfire is for real racing, be it autocross, drag or street. just flip your licence plates bettween your daily driver/smog insection car and your gutted Street bruiser . easy japanesy I just can't make it any simplier. this will cost far less than buying a used SRT6 and be a whole lot more exciting to tune and tinker on.
