That is really COOL!  Expensive at from $460 to $529, but really flexible.

That's neat. I really like seeing things like this but always wonder how long will the app be maintained? Will there come a point when it isn't and the mobile/table OS drops legacy support for it?

I can’t leave well enough alone and put in a coil per plug system in mine. It’s way overkill but I needed to make some changes and I like learning new things so I went for it. Similar to that system, I can control timing completely. Comes with a built in MAP sensor to tune with that in mind too. It’s got real good throttle response and is very nice to be able to sit in the truck and tune everything from the laptop. But I won’t hijack this thread, I’ll do a write up in my project thread “Old School Cool” soon for all interested.

Interesting, but one thing I like about my truck is that there’s not a computer on it.

I can already do that on Darth and Gary will be able to once he gets the EFI system up and running. It's called Binary Editor and is designed to reflash the EEC-V systems.
