A LM-1 and a laptop are all you need. You can richen up the idle, lean it out a hair between 2500 & 3000 RPM and fatten it up between 4500 & 6000 RPM (or any other adjustments you want) in a couple of mins. with a few clicks of the mouse and you never get dirty. That's the nice thing about it, perfect adjustments throughout the whole RPM range. That's not possible with carbs.

Yes, I read the article on Dean's RCR, but anecdotally, the only Dynateks that have had few, if any, issues or were "easy", have been small block installations. Other than Eric's (GreatAsp) FE installation and tune, which appears to have been thorny, I haven't heard of any other FE installations, or at least FE installations that have gone smoothly.

But for the installation and tuning difficulties, I think I would lean more to the Dynatek for my car. For the moment, I'm not ready to be a "trail-blazer."
