Thanks Jimbo. Looking back at the beginning of this thread it really has been a transformation. Always a work in progress. As long as I own it I don't think I'll ever really feel like it's done.

I like it for the simplicity mostly. What I meant is after you get through quite a few challenges with installation it is easy to setup and tune. However, you will probably be sorting through these challenges on your own. FITech's support was not as helpful or available as I would have liked.
Don't forget you will need a Throttle cable bracket and make sure to order the kit for either truck or car motor or your coil and alt harnesses will have to be modified.
Great job on your budget build. It sounds great.

Yeah their tech support SUCKS a lot, I e-mail them and call them twice and never got an answer, it was about the throttle cable bracket and cable, I finally ordered both from Summit and it work fine
Thanks for the comment on my budget build, it goes really well so far and should be ready to fire in 2-3 weeks
