So, I purchased the MS3 for my 02 GT.

Quick run down:
Forged shortblock
TFS heads , custom cams
FORE Return System
Tork Tech Kit
Gen 2 VMP TVS

I bought the MS3 because the engine is built to spin 8k RPMs, the SCT BS is something I don’t want to deal with, and I’d like to tune my own stuff.

I have never tuned a vehicle. Where can I look to start learning prior to me firing the car up.

I just picked up the same set up. I've been bugging the manufacturer and @GodStang with my questions. I'll admit I haven't read the entire manual, but when I've searched for something it's been pretty helpful.

I believe Stangnet has a forum specifically for this set up. So it might be worth looking into that as well.

FWIW, I've been tuning with SCT for over 10 years and while the MS3 is taking some getting used to I'm liking it so far. The live tuning is awesome. My only big issue was getting both widebands to talk to the ECU. Even with it reading one wideband it only took a few minutes to dial in the idle. I still need to check the timing with a timing light then it's time to drive it and datalog.

welcome to the Squirt Group...

First off make sure you take the card with the serial number and barcode and register your Tuner studio so you can unlock the upgraded Tuner Studio MS version.

I use the Megasquirt Facebook page Tuner Studio Facebook page. The lead engineers are on that site and they answer questions within minutes.

The thumb drive has the install instructions and it's pretty straight forward. I attached the Pro manual and then here is the link to the ultimate manual https://www.ampefi.com/wp-content/uploads/ms3pro_ultimate_manual.pdf

Here are two videos for installing on a New Edge GT. Shows install, Setting up Req fuel, and doing initial timing. Very Helpful
