With mine I did not get a check engine light. I also pulled the fuse for the ECM. perhaps that is why I do not get a check engine.....never really gave it much thought. I pull the fuse everytime I mess with the ECM and this time I just left it out so none of the connectors that were unplugged got power.

My ECM, Fast Track, and SpeedPro box are all behind the drivers seat

Mine is where the 90+ cars had their ECM under the hood. SPoke with DFI about the heat and stuff and they said there was nothing to worry about.

I was kinda thinking of relocating the battery of my 87 to the spare tire area and mounting the DFI unit in the original battery location

Thanks to the both of ya for your answers

Ooops, sorry if my question sidetracked your thread Gold1986Vette420, but nonetheless, I would like to hear how your install goes....

Its ok, I was really just curious if you would need to leave all the original sensors and computer in place and just find places to hook the extra manifold temp sensors and other crucial sensors. Obviously you would need to ditch factory tps,O2,IAC,injectors ect. Just wondering if you would need to piggyback anything like water temp.

Is there an interface for a LCD screen that anyone makes besides mounting a laptop to watch the sensors?
