real time LS ecu remapping

[spitfire4v8]

Hi all is there anything on the market that allows real live mapping of the petrol v8 LS range of engines/ecus ?
I'm in contact with richard at efilive but that's not a real time remapping package, although it does seem to be very good from reports on the web so may well be what I end up going with anyway (good customer back up being one very good reason to go with efi live it seems from what i've read) ..
unless anyone knows of a real live map option ?

For a road car a wideband lambda and something like EFI Live for logging works well. I'm not sure live mapping would be OK on the GM ECUs. Richard would know.

If you're stuck with the OEM ecu, then the Moates Roadrunner in conjunction with EFILive can allow you realtime adjustments.

I think some on the LS1 FB page was selling one ? although not sure for what model etc.

Few if any OEM ecu's allow full real time tuning and adjustments, some will allow you to make changes almost real time, but the changes will still need flashed in at some point. Moates Roadrunner is similar in this respect.

if you want proper real time tuning, buy an aftermarket ecu.

Yes, the GM ecu is a ball ache and some have screwed up in spectacular fashion. Tread carefully or better still go after market. Ringram's good news though .

If you've got a tiff project then I'd definately bin the GM ecu.

Do you think there's a hgh risk of damaging an ecu in the early days of remapping them then maybe?

The only risk of damaging the ecu, is if the flashing procedure goes wrong, or battery goes flat mid flash ( laptop or car ) etc etc

I think Boosted is more referring to numpties blowing engines up through trying to tune...when they should stick to watching teletubbies rather than damaging ecu's
