What dramas is your tuner having? The EECV ecu is quite a powerful ECU. There is at least one example of S/C modular v8 on this site running on EECV.

I am running a Moates Quarterhorse on my 342 with AFR165s and more than decent cam. No dramas yet.

I guess more info would be handy as to what dramas your tuner is having?

Cheers

If he can't get a 347 running properly with a flash tuner, you need a new tuner. Although if herrods are involved it's a step in the right direction.

DO NOT fork out for a wolf..

Waiting to hear back from a mate up that way, he has a turbo LS1 but will know if there's anyone up your way who is worth the trip. Is the car running well enough to drive it (sedately) somewhere?
