I've ordered a trigger wheel/pulley and cam sensor from Clewett. Based on advice here, thanks Jwest, I'll need to use PMO throttle bodies to get enough clearance for the AC. I may need a modified fuel rail - I found something about that here too.

What an amazing place this is!!!

On to ECU's

I'd been thinking about Megsquirt for my build but their DBW stuff seems to be a bit behind in development compared to the commercial vendors. There's so many to choose from.

MaxxECU, thanks Rivet, at least it has Bluetooth. To get Wifi with Haltech, it's going to be about $2,500. I don't think it's even an option with Link. Since Link only sells through dealers, it's hard to get a handle on there pricing. I checked with four vendors near me, based on Link's website, none of them even list Link as a brand they sell. That's troubling all by itself. I did find a dealer in Florida with pricing.

It looks like MaxxECU sport is a good fit but it doesn't have knock sensing. For that, I'd need to move to a more expensive ECU or use an external module. Adding anything external adds cost so it doesn't make much sense.

All Link ECU's have knock sensing.

So it looks right now I'm looking at:

MaxxECU Race Premium for about $1900
or
Link for at least that much, probably more

Any other vendors I should be looking at?

I don't know of any tuners near me that will help. If I find one, that may change my choices too.

EDIT - I forgot to add that the Haltech Nexus R3, although a lot more money, has power distribution built in. I'm not sure I care about that but if you do, $2500 will likely be substantially less than a MaxxECU Race ECU plus a MaxxECU PDM.
