That is a true testament to that intake at the end when you crack it open..

I love it, and I am sold on an HSR if or when I do a real build.

You don't know how bad I just want to go full out with it! but until I get more tuning done with it I have to try and stay out of the WOT areas.

Your right those are numbers...but from late last year. But when the track opens this year I want to get some runs in during a test and tune day

My ecm is from dynamicefi, its the EBL/Flash program used for datalogging and tunerpro is whats used to tune with. This is how I was able to easily convert from CFI to a Multiport injection system.
The software is pretty sweet set up. I don't use any chips. All the .bins are flashed into the ecm. It also does most the tuning itself through the VE learns.

Nice, is it easy to use or do you really have to know a lot? Can it tune your engine similarly to how you would get a dyno tune? Can it come up with HP and Torque #s?

To give you a idea I know ZERO about tuning. The VE learns learn your engine setup. It can still be "tweaked" by the user through Tunerpro. The VE learns either through your BLMs or a Wideband

Yeah we should. Our first car show is early June. Usually about 100 cars or more. Should come down for the day.

As far as I know... yes it can. Orginally it was geared more towards the TBI for in the past couple of years a multiport upgrade as come out. The best thing to do is email Bob and ask. Typically he responds to his email quickly.

I dont think it will work as all I read is the MPFI conversion to drive the 8 injectors vs 2. It is speed density. It uses VE tables. dynamicefi.com

Now that you say that I do remember Bob telling me that I would need to use a speed density system only.
Can you remove the MAF and use the wire's to run a IAT or MAT?
