But wouldn't all the load maps be all wrong? Would it run
closed-loop with the O2 sensor and work out OK, or would it
run really weird in places?

Clearly EFI works, and works great. I just loathe the idea of
tuning software in a car, for some reason. I can just picture
myself scrunched up in the front seat with a laptop for
hours. This fills me with dread. I'd rather re-jet carburetors.

If I could find someone who LIKED that part I'd be all set. Then
I'd go Megasquirt.

I did software and hardware integration for decades, and teach
it now, and simply don't want to do it in my automobiles. Ugh.
