Default Are ECMs still available for the ZR1's?

I don't need one at the moment but hear they are hard to come by. Would hate to think if the ECM dies, the car becomes a paper weight.

Curious, has anyone used a holley dominator EFI setup on a ZR-1?? I am currently installing with my buddy on his C5 drag car build and interestingly enough it has the capability to control 16 injectors, I like the setup, you terminate wires to an out/input on the controller then you just designate that particular out/input accordingly. I realize it is expensive as hell but I am curious. The control you have with this setup is pure gold.

If anything pricey happens to my ecm/ignition setup its going out the window for an aftermarket ecu. I have the gen 7 dfi on my 93 LTX car and I love it.

That may be much easier said than done.

the raptor megasquirt works pretty well and retains most of the dash functions except security and mileage

a few kinks to still work out

I'd put in a haltech s2000 or dominator too if you are brave enough

I'm splicing in a haltech on the c5 and it keeps the factory ecm to drive the gauges and tranny and some other functions

many of these after market systems can run staged injectors but the tuning can be challenging with two sets of fuel tables

like to go "coil on plug" too

Ron,
Is the Megasquirt in production? I know Phil was the ginny pig for the test unit but had heard they have come to a standstill with any more work on the unit.
