Was beginning to think you gave up on this.

Surprised to see you going back to fuel injection.

Any reason why you decided on the MegaSquirt over any other aftermarket system???

I can totally understand not wanting to use the factory system with EFI or HPT. It can be overwhelming to say the least. I am not a big fan of the electric TB either.

Ain't no give up in me lol

I think it had to happen(fuel injection)to be able to drive the truck as much as I like and make the numbers I'd be satisfied with.

I chose Megasquirt based on price. My entire setup was less than $700 including software, 3bar map, IAT sensor, and boost controller. I don't think it will be any more user friendly than Holley or BS3 or FAST, but it was definitely cheaper. It doesn't have as many features as the others but it has some good ones. Seems simple to navigate. I like simple.

HATE DBW throttle bodies. I'm excited to get it all done and see how it turns out

I got a 78mm. Still haven't got an elbow but will probably just go with an eldebrock like I've used in the past.

4150 would be nice since you have the linkage and carb hat for it.

Carb hat is gone and a 4150 TB costs too much for me. Works great for you, not needed for me...until I get pissed off and sell all my turbo stuff and go back to nitrous
