Default "Big Stuff" ECU

This is for Kurt Urban, or Todd mainly
I saw the Big Stuff ECU on the turbo car in the other post was runing the LS1 coils with no external box. Is this a new version of Big stuff? I've seen It before and was just like a FAST box, just painted black. It even had all the same pinouts as a FAST. So I was just wondering if its something entirely new, if not, it doesnt seem like there would be enough wires coming from the ECU to do a stadlone Gen III

Whistler,
The ECU that you are talking about is a Big stuff gen 1, it is John's first design that does plug in just like a fast. The ECU that runs a gen 3 and a modular ford and the new hemi is a Big stuff gen 3 that will be released in may. The gen 3 can also run the trans if you buy that option.

It's a sweet setup for sure! Those Meaney brothers really know what they are doing. Big Stuff 3 will be the only box to run a few months from now. FAST, etc, will be old news.

When in May will it be released? I'm just about ready to drop in my turbo motor and will be purchasing an aftermarket ecm. Hopefully this one will be out in time.

Kurt,

How about the injector drivers? Can it drive both high impedance and low impedance injectors with the base kit?
