Default Atomic & Fast + SC?

So from what I've been reading, Atomic EFI and FAST EFI don't support superchargers. I called and talked with a tech from MSD, who said that the R&D had been put on hold for it.

I'm just curious what specifically causes it to not work with a SC. He mentioned a different sensor not having support, but it seems like if you can carb a SC, you should be able to support it with an EFI system that is better than a carb.

Any better explanation?

I saw one small bit of information on it, but the post said it was a very in depth install... and it was supposedly not as good as the Atomic. Thoughts on that?

I would LIKE to... but it's not like I already bought it. I was just curious the reasoning.

Megasquirt is the easiest wiring job I've ever done on my truck

I glanced at their site.... it basically is a lot of reading and the purchase options from a couple of the vendors make no sense. I'm going to have to read more on it in a bit.

What kind of economy are you able to get out of switching to the EFI system?

I was getting 15-16mpg on e85.

When it was factory efi with 91octane it was no problem to get 20+mpg with 4.56 gears and 31" tall tires

I'm not sure what your vehicle is, but the stock computer will handle about anything you can do to your vehicle. I actually bought a megasquirt because I heard so much good stuff about them. I have since bought EFILive. I will be switching my Chevelle over to a stock GM computer this year. If you still want to go with an aftermarket computer, I have a brand new Megasquirt that I will be selling. It is a very simple effective system.
