You can have my INJEC EM2 system for about $600, including sensors, etc
(I've just bought a MOTEC).

The software to reprogram the Delco unit costs about $800 and was developed
by a guy in South Oz.   It's called DynoKal or Kalmaker.  I believe there
has recently been - or is about to be -  an article about the Delco in Zoom
magazine.  There was also a couple of technical articles in Silicon Chip.
On the whole, the consensus appears to be that the thing is very
impressive.  With later versions (VR/VS Commodes) the system even allows
control of the tranny.  It is definately tunable for performance work.
