this is called DFI...digital fuel injection....i beleive but am not sure if this necessitates a whole injection system or a different computer but accel, holley, edelbrock, jegs, summit all offer this. look under DFI or EFI. they are all expensive as all hell. they are like 1000 plus. some are 3. well good luck

Diacom makes a neat diagnostic software package that allows data logging, real time monitoring, etc.

AutoXray now sells software & a cable to dump data recorded in their tool. Checker sells the Xray (Chevy version) for $150 & the PC download software for $80.
