The multiple pulses on different strokes are pretty cool, that sounds like the one big difference. I totally agree that it's good stuff that will open the door to monster engines that still get good mileage, but it just seems like programming it wouldn't be a huge step from what we already have. Even in the Ford EEC-IV (1987 vintage) I can change injector pulsewidth and injector timing.
