Hardware looks nice cosmetically, and the price is right. You'll get better performance if you don't mind seeing a pair of fuel rails and go with the edelbrock victor EFI manifold and 4 barrel throttle body and stand alone ECU. I'm fond of Megasquirt.

Be aware of the learning curve of tuning and don't think an auto learning unit is smart enough to auto tune without a good bit of guidance and correction. Read Prof's experiences. For that matter, look at Bob Cowans (may have misspelled) hair removal getting a reliable crank signal on his megasquirt install.

Mu biggest question is how much flexibility and control their little touch screen interface has. I can't imagine doing what I do with the laptop from a little proprietary touch screen.

There's 2 ways to install EFI.

1- Pay a lot of money for some shop to do it, and make sure they can tune it as well and be prepared to go round and round saying no this isn't good enough,

2- Spend a lot of time learning how to tune it yourself.
