Megasquirt DFI engine is up and running (video and pics)
Just started my 84 vette, I converted from the crappy crossfire inejction and smog heads to DFI port injection and aluminum fastburns. I'm post the cliffnotes, any questions just ask away.
350 with fastburn heads (aluminum, sodium filled valves)
mercrusier intake (machined to fit extensively)
BBK 1000CFM throttle body
Machined fuel rails
48lb/hr injectors
walbro 255 pump, all AN fittings and aeromotive regulator
small 214/244 cam (similiar to GM HOT cam)
Megasquirt DFI w/zeitronix wideband
long tube headers, dual 3" exhaust, X pipe, GM LT4 mufflers (quiet)
Even with the huge injectors the engine idles well, and revs nicely. The cool thing about megasquirt is that it can tune itself to a lookup AFR table with the wideband directly. Once I get the car on the road I'll finish the high rpm/high MAP values.

Video of it starting, the camera microphone doesn't pick up the revs very well

how do you like the megasquirt from a tunability and ease of use standpoint?

Its very cheap, very easy to use, and extremely powerful. There are not many systems that can do realtime closed loop wideband and autotune like megasquirt, and those that do are usually over $2K.
I paid $140 for my kit, plus soldering time.
I really think it will take off once more people are exposed to it.
