Re: Megasquirt II ---> First Step in Fuel Economy Build

The pickup is my DD. I have been researching Megasquirt II as the EFI controller with GM TBI retrofit. The Megasquirt II also has the ability to control my HEI.
After going EFI, the next step will be 700-R4 (or 200-4R) install, followed with a 350 rebuild down the road.
For those who are interested, you can read the manufacturer's carb conversion on SBC here: http://www.diyautotune.com/tech_arti...part1-nova.htm
The setup seems easy. Does anybody have experience with the Megasquirt? I would appreciate any advice, experience, etc. |
First thing id look at is possibly a taller diff ratio? with 235/85R16s that were on my truck at 60mph it was doing 2500rpm with 3.73 diff.
