Can the standard 1 bar MAP Sensor be replaced with say a 3 bar unit?

I know from experience that the 2 bar map (that comes with the GM supercharger package) won't work with the stock PCM programming... the car wouldn't start.

The MAP sensors are avaliable in 1,2,3,and 4 bar. 1 bar is vacum reading and is calabrated in the PCM for only that 30 inchs mercury would pull a 0V and 5V would be 0 inchs mercury. On a 2 bar the calabration would be 0V at 30 inchs mercury and 2.5V at 0 inches mercury and 5V at 14.7 PSI. Every bar added creates a sensor that will read 14.7 psi more.
3 wires are: ground, 5 Volt, and reference.
Hope this makes sence?

Thanks TTR. Looks like I am connected right as I am getting a varying output to the SAFC-2.
