Default Dynamic EFI Alternative

Hi all, I'm looking for an alternative to the Dynamic EFI MAF to MAP conversion since Bob has sadly passed away. What options are out there?

Thanks in advance!

you can get a 730 ECM and repin to it. That is what I did initially and then went to the EBL P4 piggyback to the 730 ECM when I went with boost.

Damn, I was not aware that Bob passed away. I used to sell his EBL through Zip, not sure why they stopped selling it after I left a couple of years ago.
I may have a solution for you if you would like to PM me, we can discuss further.
Thanks
Justin

I'm using Dynamic EFI since 2018. But in case I need to replace it, I'll go FiTech

Holley EFI is really hard to beat. You have lots of choices in ECU's. They are probably the easiest to learn to program.

Time moves on, I went with a Holley HP setup, but it’s a heavy investment for the excellent ease of tuning and capability. Some day it will be obsolete also, but it’s very common/popular across all of the V8 platforms, so obsolescence issues will be about supporting more modern and future platforms, will run the old Gen1-3 SBC TBC stuff for generations.

Holley is great with the bonus anyone will touch it. That being said, Bob's customer support was second to none. The fact I was able to order a (mostly) plug and play setup for my 84 and be driving it as good as stock in the time it takes to drink a beer is pretty outstanding.

But for support network alone, it's hard to beat a holley. Though I will say it's expensive for what you really get.

I think the value in Holley comes from the add ons. So if you get a Holley ECU and maybe a harness then it might not be worth it if you just want to drive the car and never mess with it again. But if you was a touch screen dash or to play with CAN bus I/O then Holley makes it easy. And the add ons aren't super expensive. Also things like boost or progressive nitrous are so easy on a Holley. But again that's because of the add ons.

I don't disagree in a sense. It is kind of the same thing apple does. Up front is expensive but everything just works. Nothing wrong with that either. The other problem I have is I remember pre 2020 prices on parts and that heavily skews what I personally think is worth it.

Another option is Megasquirt. They can do anything a Holley can and cost less. They aren't as user friendly but not that bad. You do need two boxes if you want transmission control though.
