Rob, It's not really all that "custom". It is a Delphi unit made for GM's marine division and they have basic maps depending on which engine (4cyl, 6cyl, 8cyl). It's something my buddy in Cali "farms out", not by choice though, Delphi is real picky about the base map software and the blank ECU's and there is a high intial buy-in. The ECU map is tweaked or optimized a little but is basically stock. An example... a stock Cavalier with the smog equipped Eco is about 140hp. The stripped down version I'm using makes 170hp.

If I get to build a turbo engine next year, I'll probably ditch the Delphi and go with the Accel DFI. Some serious coin $$, but I'll have to run a different ignition and injectors for the turbo so it's nessecary...
