ECU7/EFI

[Al Lipper]

Ken,
	It's good to hear your working on an EFI project.  Yes, the ECU7 does
actually "learn" and remember the conditions it is operated under.  It can
have its tables changed as you see fit.  You can also modify the program
itself and how it uses the programs for extensive flexibility (after all,
I've made the source code available).  The system should work fine with
turbos if you have the correct sensors and modify the base fuel table to
allow MAPs above 100 (up to about 130 should do it, I believe).  The system
does not currently have electronic spark control, but probably will in the
future.  I hope this helps.
