Ok, so I may have missed it, but does someone make a PCM for mopar engines with VVT? I would like to see if I could use all of the features the newer hemi engine has, to include better economy. I am also looking at options for the 3.6 pentastar motor.

Factory PCM can be made to work with a factory harness and will run the vvt

The Megasquirt 3 stuff can control VVT. I don't know that there is any default programming for it so there might be a learning curve there but they have the capability.

What are the ford and Chevy guys running on their vvt engines? Or is it a mopar only thing? Megasquirt is way more programming than I want to do and I am trying to get away from the factory pcm. Argh it can be frustrating not knowing the new tech out there.

They are probably tuning the factory computer. As far as I know holley doesn't do VVT where the Megasquirt can control about anything VVT including the ford Coyote engines with 4 cams.

The megasquirt stuff is pretty easy if you have a good knowledge of how an engine works. Holley might be a little easier but there is still tons of user input.

DIYHemi.com on FB has a harness they sell to run the factory stuff. Pretty affordable as well
