These systems are really awesome! If you need a stand alone PCM, get this one. No headaches with edist or similar add-ons either!

Shawn,
If you have any questions give me a call at 586-757-1961 and I will try too answer them.
The makers of the system are John "BIG" Meaney, Joe Meaney and Leo Meaney. These three formed a company years ago called Digital Fuel Injection (DFI) that they sold to accel corporation. They then came up with another ECU with many upgrades called the SEFI8LO that was sold to Fel Pro which then was sold to Comp Cams who changed the name of the ECU to Fuel and Spark Technology (FAST)
The Big Stuff Three is there next entry into the market.

I know Mike And Steve's turbo car did not work well with the stock LS1 alternator. I believe they upgraded to a high amp model and possibly a 16-volt battery. The Big Stuff, like any other high end ECU, needs good clean power to run right. I'd say some stock guages may work, but most will run aftermarket guages with this type of setup. However, knowing the Meaneys, they thought of everything

Wideband 02 is included in base kit.
Kit will run any LS engine as shipped. The engine needs cable driven throttlebody.
Thanks

This box has a multiple stage boost control that can alter timing and add fuel in three stages. It will give you the ability to do anything you need up to three stages.

The dual WB is a option.
There is a local guy in Michigan working on a jumper harness, not sure when it will be done. John is not working on that on his own.
Mike and Steve with the TA at N vs S showed a problem with running the factory alt without the factory ECU, the Meaney brothers are looking into running factory alt with Big Stuff ECU.

This system will not run the factory gauges. The solution to this is a jumper harness that leaves your stock ECU in the car for the gauges and piggy backs the Big Stuff for engine control. That "jumper" is being worked on now but I don't know when it will be available.

I talked with Leo at North vs South, he was supposed to email me but didn't (yet)..

Is there demo software? I've been seriously considering swapping from FAST to BS3

what all is needed to swap over to the cable driven TB do you have any part numbers for a direct conversion and is there any other problems that need to be modified to work with this kit.

The "fly by wire" cars will need to have a throttle pedal modification to add the cable. Then you will need a throttlebody for a f-car or GTO or any aftermarket cable style.
