There are archives to this list, and DIY_EFI.  Just pull up a chair and 
start reading.  Lots of great info..  Programming 101 is an intro to an old 
ecm, but works as a primer for whats going on.  It can be a steep curve, but 
your at the right place to learn.

Electromotive said for like $2500 I could switch it over to EFI but that 
seemed a bit steep to me for minimal HP increase.
