DeTomaso Mailing List: February 00, Message #19

Hi

I have been running my De Tomaso Pantera with the Haltech F3 EFI with O2
sensor for the last 7 years, but i newer have been 100 % happy with the
resolution
of the F3 system (8 Bit) when setting up my fuel maps.
I have tried with different firmware (software inside the microcontroller)
one setup using vacuum as feedback, and one that uses throttle position
as feedback etc... But i guess it is not really the state of the art any
more.

My question: What replacement can be recommended, and what price range ?


My setup is as follows.

Engine Ford 3.51C
Fuel 98 Octane with lead replacement.
8 x 48mm Weber-style throttle bodies with 8 injectors, with 45 PSI fuel
pressure.
The compression ratio is 11:1 using Wisco pistons at 4.02" and Crower billet
rods 5.78".
Stainless steel valves and roller rocker arms, with Crower valve springs and
hyd. lifter.
The Crower cam, Lobe centrer 108, Lift in 0.535" Lift ex 0.545" with
duration on
intake 280-290 deg. exhaust 290-300 deg. etc..
Ignition: Malloy Unilite distributor delivers trigger pulse to the MSD6 that
triggers the
EFI and MSD blaster coil.
Lots of other small modifications that dose not have any influence on this
question.

Thanks and regards
