Anyone have any experience with this? I can get a good deal on the full kit with the fuel system.
I'm currently running an over-bored & custom 2 barrel TBI with qty (2) injectors on my 454. MEFI 1 ecu old skool tech... I know the thing isn't getting enough fuel and air, wanted to stay injected as opposed to going carb. The O2 sensor mounting wouldn't be an issue as I have already developed a dry adapter plate for the wet logs that has proven to work with the current wide-band A/F gauge & sensor I'm running.
My main question is would this unit and software function the same on a jet boat motor as it would on a big block in a car...mainly would it "see" engine load the same (impeller loading vs tires on pavement) or is this a non-issue? I already know the self learning feature might require a laptop to get to function correctly as it wont self learn until 160 degrees water temp and my boat only sees that idling. At WOT its usually around 110-130 depending on how cold the water is (I don't run a T-stat) However the unit does have a built in MAP sensor, TPS and can be told what Air Fuel ratios to hold at idle, cruise, and WOT so I would assume it would still work alot better than my current setup. Thoughts?
