I'm just really impressed with the customer service and willingness to help. The cost is very affordable. I realize there is a lot of DIY that has to be done but the end product seems well worth the effort (from what I've READ).

I like the seemingly endless setup options, especially the tuning based on wideband o2 input. Plus the system can be used on anything.

But like I said, I'm going to give the stock ecm a chance, but if for some reason the blower is capable of pushing more than 15 pounds, I think its going to hold me back.

The m122 project is going in the monte carlo.

I think where the confusion came in is I said there has been some interest in the fbody, meaning I've had some guys that would like to try to get an m122 to fit in theirs. Which will be a huge task if its going to be intercooled. But after I get this one running and find out what its capable of I will put something together in the parts car.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I totally did not comprehend that correctly. Now I get it!

It was probably a joint effort. Sometimes I don't explain what I'm trying to say very well. Mix that with a splash of late night pain meds and I'm pretty sure that's how it happened.

Did bluebottlez like the megasquirt?

IT was a huge pita to hook up with alot of things that needed to be figured out at the time.... and still was not completley tuned.

But it was neat to watch the tuning on the fly... literally listening to the idle of the car changing as the tuner was changin parameters.

He started with the Micro Squirt and it was not opti capable.. then upgraded to one of the MEGAs, and got that to work... but at first it was 90* out on reading timing....

I guess what im trying to say is the car never made it to better than 70% right to say it was worth all the headache.

Ive always loved those MC SS, and when you showed it as your project I was very excited!

I bought this pinstripe removal wheel that is supposed to rip the decals right off without damaging the topcoat. So I put it in my drill and let her fly. Needless to say there is no more decals or stripes on there anymore but I think I added several more hours of sanding and feathering of the paint underneath the decals because in some places I went down to primer......
