Are you using the MoTec?
I would avoid the Motec and go with a Vi-Pec instead. Im not knocking Motec ecu's as they are good but unless you want to pay thousands more for an ecu that will do no more for this particular setup than a Vi-Pec I would stick with the Vi-Pec. The V88 model has built in drive by wire as well as built in dual channel per cylinder knock control. The software is very easy to work with and has trigger patterns already set up for LS engines.
Hey Blaine,
What do you think of the Mast Motorsports Controllers?

Scott,
You might want to contact Bod Radke at http://mefiburn.com
Bob is a good friend of mine (I call him Corvette Bob) and a wiz at EFI programing. He has an EE degree (Penn State if I remember) and is quite sharp. Last year GM r&d flew him out to their research center to help out with the EFI tuning they were working on for a limited production Camaro race car.
He also likes Panteras and would be very interested in your project. Tell him Dick Barkley sent you.
Quick update: I'd forgotten, Bob also has an MSEE from USC in computer engineering.

Before I give my input let me first start by saying that I do not like to bash products. Mast builds package with a certain customer base in mind. They offer a product to customers that is plug in and simple and comes complete. I have never used the product before so cannot offer a firsthand experience. Now that my disclaimer is our of the way... I downloaded the software and noticed after installing that it cannot be used without a serial number and password. No matter what system we sell or tune I always like to get a feel for the software before purchasing. Seeing as I couldnt use the software I downloaded the manual. I was a little taken back by how dated the software appeared to be. I was also a bit disappointed with the lack of versatility. Keep in mind these ecu's were made by GM for the marine industry and engines in cars can tend to get a bit more complicated. That being said for all intents and purposes this ecu can easily control all basic GM engines. We deal with a lot of imports and they tend to be considerably more heavily controlled by electronics. The ECU's for these must have a bit more flexibility and versatility. We tend to get spoiled with newer and more in depth hardware. Now as I said the Mast stuff will work just fine. If you do get it tuned I would agree with Richard in his recommendation to take it to someone like Bob, who has lots of experience with MEFI. It can tend to be a bit more cumbersome than the stuff many tuners are familiar with. The experience with the hardware will save you lots of time in tuning. So personal opinion: Do I like it? no. (This is based purely on my initial impression of the software. The hardware is reliable.) Will it work for you? Yes.
