Ok all these trains are basically the same internally design wise. The 47/48 have a stronger planetary set in them but it is interchangeable into the 518/46 models. I have a 518 that I am tearing down now for a rebuild. The trains as of rite now needs a front planetary it is aluminum and only 4 pin design that's not going to work for me upgrading to steel 5 pin set. The rear planetary I cannot get to yet as there is what they call an 800lb spring that requires a press to get out. This is not a step that in anyway can be or should be done without a press it can kill you! Look at this thing

The fast unit has an OBD2 port lol. So you can pull codes and what not from it with a scanner in generic mode. My buddy just did one on his 69 camaro its a sweet deal

I believe the FAST system is the most popular. Megasquirt also self tunes.

Diff thread for that stuff this is Trans thread. Standalone pcm is likely needed in newer stuff that's for sure. But not needed for HP reasons at all just to run engine if it will limp mode the pcm otherwise

B&G performance told me they think they can.
There wasn't a manual transmission PCM available in a pickup with a VVT hemi engine.

Being a 05, the pedal mod is most likely the easiest. When you get a chance take a picture of your pedal assembly so we can see if there is anything to attach the cable to. If not then a 03 assembly will be needed.

Keith, Been thinking how the TV cable might be mechanically controlled. How about a air actuator? Would have to experiment with different spring tensions, but might be doable. Connect the actuator shaft to the TV cable and connect the air fitting to manifold pressure/vacuum. High vacuum pulls the shaft in over coming spring pressure, lack of vacuum, the spring pushes the shaft out. Boost holds the shaft fully extended. This would be very close to the position my follows being tied to the accelerator pedal. The main thing is to have max line pressure when going wot.

Yeah not going that crazy Gregg. Going to stick with the good old mechanical method for guaranteed simplicity.

Haha, by the time you get the cable through the firewall you'll be saying man there has to be a easier way.... that TV cable was the most difficult part of the entire install. Now with that said mine works flawlessly using a 60' era motorcycle clutch cable.. along with a cable adjuster about 18" from the fire wall to make fine adjustments easy to reach.
