Re: Firebird and Camaro PROMinator

Craig, any update? I'd love to upgrade my Prominator to a USB setup, and I quoted your post above over on corvetteforum in response to a question I got about my TPI installation. I think you'll have a number of folks interested.

Re: Firebird and Camaro PROMinator

Apologies for the delay on this, I've been off on so many tangents it's not funny.

Here's a teaser if it helps. I can't say exactly when it'll be ready, I've got probably about 10 more traces to lay and then the FW to work out.



At its largest measurement, it is 1.4" x 1.6".
A 28-pin chip, by comparison, is 0.6" x 1.5".

Mini USB cable comes off right next to pin 28.

Re: Firebird and Camaro PROMinator

I would like to go on record as also being interested in the PromulGator. When these are ready please let us know. Perhaps it will be ready in time for Christmas!

Re: Firebird and Camaro PROMinator

I'm ready for one of these too. I'm just finishing up a 383 (385 actually) swap with a mild cam upgrade, rockers, pushrods, lifters and some older GMPP iron heads that I ran through, but with the stock chip and TPI. As expected it needs to be feathered at start up and stumbles at idle. It throws engine code "44" so I'll be testing/swapping the 02 sensor next -- it's definitely not running lean though and smells rich with its fresh new appetite for pump gas. It also runs way hotter. I'm pretty sure that I can DIY tweak my problems away with a promgulator and its supporting cast so please post when you are taking orders (even if I have to wait :-).

Re: Firebird and Camaro PROMinator

Any updates on the promulgator im getting the car back on the road with a new cam and using old chips and a uv eraser isnt cutting it, i was looking at the ostrich, the ebl is a little out of my price range, this would fit the bill perfect, thanks.
