spend the money to make a turbo v-8 and cheap out on one of the most important parts....why?
A 7749 ecm can now support 3 bar map, peak and hold injectors, a wideband input, on the fly tuning, and a great datalogging capability.
It will also support a lockup t/c, fan control, LS1 coil over plug ignition.
And you can get the actual ecm from almost any junkyard or brand new for around 100 bux.
Why would someone spend 2500 or so on an aftermarket ecu only to lose much of the driveability aspects of a 7749?
Sounds like a great idea to me
