^im also wondering if this is possible. i know there are a couple of threads on here where people said it worked, i think one was from a car tuned by precision dyno w/ ecutek. i created a thread in the ecutek forum about this, but was never able to totally confirm if it works. here are some links:

although i have seen some threads on here where people used ecutek with revolvers and said they worked find and idled well, but there are others who say there is no way to tune revolvers with the stock ecu. dont know who to believe!

If you have your heart set on the Revolver cams - that is, you need the type of power the Revolvers can make more than any other cams out there, and you don't want to spend your $800 - $3000 anywhere else - then you only have one real option.
-- Buy the revolver cams with the thought that you MAY have to switch over to the EMS. Have Dynoflash Al try to custom tune the Revolvers with a reflash. If that does not work out, you buy the EMS and have David Bushur tune it.
So then, if you are not open to the possibility of having to run the EMS, then you should look for other area to gain HP and TQ.
It is a tradeoff - if you had to spend $3000 for the EMS, cams, and tune, where else could you spend that money? You will have to make the decision for yourself. Personally, I knew early on that the stock ECU was going to me the limiiting factor, so I pitched it. Now with each part I buy I don't have that little voice in the back of my head asking "Are you sure this is going to work? Will it idle, will it stall?"

Well, I have the XEDE. But i have heard stories. I guess I should just get off my duff and call Shiv to see what their experiences are instead of relying on random postings on this board 
BTW, I know people have had no problems with the XEDE and 280's.

Playing with the BISS is a last resort, IMO.

that should make it stall free. but the revolvers will never idle like stock. unless you seperate them like 5 degrees.

I sold my car to a member in Texas. From the last EcuTek tune it idled rough but idled.
The new owner put a UTEC in it and tuned out the idle himself.
Apparently it idles pretty well now because he took it through inspection and passed!
