I had some heater circuit codes pop up a while ago, I though that may be due to using that pin. I am up and running now though
Alkycontrol is great! The kit works flawless. I pulled some fuel out of the PE table to get an 11.5:1 AFR. I also bumped my timing from 17 degrees to 25. Before Alky, I would get a bit of knock at 17 degrees, now I don't have a hint and am running 25. The truck pulls much harder now. I can't wait to get it back to the track. Thanks TurboBerserker and KySilverado for the help.

I believe you can get away with tapping the pcm's map sensor (MAP or MAF or any 0-5v), but I think the signal quality is reduced. Julio would be a good guy to ask this question if you were considering a kit.

The PAC needs to be on a stand alone MAP. I ran mine of a 3-bar that drove a guage for a while and Julio said "Well... okay, but..." and then I promptly switched it to a stand alone
At one point I had 4 MAPs in the truck... Right now, I'm down to 3 functioning MAPs, except I carry around a 3 bar MAP (that will migrate to PCM control when I find a compatible pigtail) just in case I find a guy on the side of the road selling 3 bar MAP pigtails or something (no idea why I carry it... I just do ).
