I might be doing some programing on the EFI user interface display to help out
Tracy. Since you are the guys going to be using this what would you like
to see? We are limited to a four line, forty character back lit LCD.
So far Tracy has about a dozen parameters he would like to display.


How about this idea?
A four line list of parameters with a double throw center off toggle
switch that scrolls up and down in the list:


For example:

                   O2 sensor output = xx
             MAP  manifold pressure = xxx
   Current setting of program. knob = xxx
    Current setting of mixture knob = xxx

01234567890123456789012345678901234567890
          1         2         3         4

That way we can add an unlimited number of new display functions
without a  major rewrite of the software in the display computer.


Future possibilities are; EGT, CHT, turbo RPM and MPG.
