While I appreciate all the kind words, please know that Graham Behan is the guy who really deserves all the credit.

Though I'm sure he wouldn't remember me, I had the pleasure of meeting Graham at the 2009 C4 Gathering in BG. That's the year I believe he brought the LT-5 prototypes with him.... like 4 or 5 different ones with different intakes and such... really cool stuff.

At any rate, thanks to Graham as well!! You guys are the types who will keep the ZR-1 alive for a very long time to come.

Jerry,

My Thanks to both you and Graham Behan for taking this project on and continuing to move it forward.

All, we are now at a stage where we are completing the final stages of software development error checking and reporting communications between the ECU and the new DIS module, as to ignition status etc. The module hardware has already been tested with simulated crank sensor inputs and the next step is to fire coils with an actual crank sensor input, will provide pictures and hopefully video when this event occurs. After that we will be testing on actual engine/vehicle.

Regards

Graham

Great News Graham!!

I am curious as to what the price point of these units will be

I was told by someone at DIYautotune that they cracked a dash on a ford and may take another stab at the unresolved dash issues on the zr1 megaquirt. Know anything about that?

Yeah, it was directed towards Jerry, my guess is it is a bit early for the pricing

Torqhead has it working for the LT1 cars with their ECM. Wish TorqHead would do an LT5 ECM

I have heard that they have been reaching out to people that may be able to supply a dash and ccm for them to attempt to monitor coms and discover what the check sum and serial data packet responses are, not sure of progress.

Jeff,
I simply do not know what a semi-guess price range is, let alone the final price point. Please rest assured, I will do the best I can when all the numbers are in. Right now, we are trying to wrap up the R part of R&D. Will then build a test unit, verify that, then build a few more beta test units for in-car testing. IF we get through those steps without major issues, we can finally look towards manufacturing. Manufacturing is quantity sensitive for costing, so that's a critical decision I will have to work through.

I know this is a long-winded answer to what appears to be a simple question, but it's all I've got now.... and a dedicated effort to resolve the availability issue at a feasible price point to keep the LT5 viable.
