Just wanted something different, with a bit more functionality and flexibility. The Raptor MS seems like a pretty good option for some. In my case, I wanted to eliminate the ignition module, and control 16 injectors sequentially without the added drivers, among other things. It will use a combination of alpha-n (TPS), and Manifold pressure (MAP) as the load variable for fueling and spark. The options are just endless on this thing.

Will be close to $5000 when done, not including my own time of course.

It will drive both the Tach and Speedometer, so won't need the stock ECU at all.

I plan to get it setup on a stock engine on a test stand first. Then use it on the engine dyno to map the 427.
