Yeah, that's what I was figured would be the hardest part to accomplish - just like everyone trying to get turbos / TT's or superchargers to work with our little N/A's, the ECU tuning was always the limiting factor. Not that I'm not willing to try something along those lines, either. Is that possible to accomplish with the jump up to a V8? I know, probably overkill.. hahaha... A complete rehaul of about everything mechnical / electrical would probably be needed for something of that magnitude. But shipping it all to Rudy doesn't sound like a bad plan - he messaged me earlier last night (my time.. I'm waaay ahead of you guys back stateside) with his number, to give him a call and work out details. Might be something I bring up to him.
