[Diy_efi] Projects

[David Allen]

Neat project! The 32 Ford body is a great looking basis for any project, and 
that's a very creative powertrain setup.

Interesting about the custom-built ECU. I've been heavily into re-tuning but 
I have always used the factor GM controllers.  It sounds good in the video. 
I'm assuming it is a speed-density based fuel control program?

I'm going to read up on the links you included about it.
Thanks for sharing this!
David
