I have a buddy who uses the MegaSquirt on his road race car. His is the DIY kit. He had some issues but figured them out himself.

He is a professor of Thermaldynamics/chemistry/metalurgy though.

New information for y'all to rip, tear, chew,spillfuelon, and otherwise. Hot off the presses 5:00PM Yesterday CST. Dyno Test on a GEN III Hemi reveals that at 70% throttle, the motor lost 10% HP on a pull from 3000 RPM to 7500 RPM. Now the 4 bbl Throttle Body on a GEN III has progressive linkage, and the secondaries are only open scant thousanths of an inch not to be confused with a meter, and the primaries are open 70% out of 100% It is the TB off the stock eliminator GEN III motor. I would suspect a Throttle Body which was oblong, or round as opposed to 4bbl configuration would lose less.

Pretty much in line with what I have seen on my dyno, Jeff. With any throttle body I have tested 10%, 15% less throttle angle does not cause the huge power losses everybody wants to think.

For ****z and grin, try a tug with factory stock 6.1 SRT8 heads vs the so called upgraded heads that came with the DP's.

Where was Donato when we needed him? lol
