Default 1986 corvette updated with technology

Thought you might be interested in what I did to my car. I replaced factory computer with EBL fully interactive computer. Then, I got the new computer to talk to my Windows tablet. Finally, had upholstery guy redo center console and mount tablet. Basically, adjustments to the car are literally at my finger tips. See pictures

Nice I may go a similar route when I take the tuning plunge. With that in mind, I have questions

What is your impression of EBL so far, and what version of their hardware are you running?

Have you worked with any others e.g. Megasquirt?

Any other mods?

How would you characterize your EFI tuning experience level...pro, first-timer, or somewhere in between?

Please excuse my grilling

No, I haven't tried Megasquirt.

I am happy with EBL - easy to install, easy to go back to stock, fits in stock location and easy to set tune after learning the the computers language.

ported intake and runners
24 lbs injectors
full 3" exhaust
52mm throttle body
k&n

my next trick is a procharger

thanks for sharing, Im looking at EBL maybe this year.

so you have hooked up the EBL directly to the tablet and can tune/retune on the run ?

My dual exhaust is done, and I should soon be able to make intake improvements similar to yours. Glad EBL is working out so well for you...I look forward to upgrading too!

Yes, to a degree. The computer has a stop light to stop light learning program. As far as uploading tunes while the car is in motion might not be a good idea.

BTW EBL chages your very temperamental MAF to MAP. I have been told MAP is better with forced induction.
