Sorry to be a bit off topic, but...
Has anyone seen one of these things yet? I hear they're pretty sweet, and there's a performance version for marine applications. 420HP/505ftlb stock GM 8.1 Liter. The HiPo comes with forged crank and such...
Anyhow, more on-topic, what would be a good way to go about diddling the ECM on one of these bad boys? It runs off the MEFI-4? They say it has 'drive-by-wire' throttle control, sounds interesting.
So has anyone had experience with this sort of beast?

I saw a bin for one, and they are very simple, using a PW for the VE table entries etc.
I know of one of the MEFI systems running in a car, but it has issues since not tuneable, other then at AS+M. Seems like a 730 is being considered.
