It isn't super accurate, but it should help with efficient acceleration. The electronics required to give good enough results for most cases amounts to a N channel mosfet with an appropriate Vgs, a handful of resistors, and a green LED. Simple, easy to read, and you don't need to pull the dash to try it out since the TDC has a ground, a battery positive, and the ECU output lines right there.
When you get 'bored' with that.....can you stop by and see why my sunroof quit working????
