ECU'S

[WLundquist at aol.com]

I've got a real dumb question on ecu's. Why can't a gm ecu such as a 
16159278, P4 TPI, be reprogrammed with a haltech or other aftermarket program 
so that you can have real time tuning capability? Is't the hardware already 
there? Can you dump the factory programing and reinstall? Would an 
aftermarket program work? Can't a serial port be added for the laptop? Would 
the aldl connector work as the serial port? Could this be economically 
feasable?  There are alot of gm ecu's out there sure is a shame to let them 
go to waste. What are the most significant problems to accomplish this goal? 
Would it work?
