What does your tuner use? No sense getting FAST if you're gonna take it to spetter, or no sense getting accel if you're gonna take it to murillo, know what I mean?

I am a tuner. If Aem had a plug and play system then I would use that. I may end up going AEM depending on price and ease of installation.


Did you install the FAST?? Or did you have someone else install it??

The Accel will set you back quite a bit more than the FAST last I checked. Either one has the built in WB O2 which is the star of the show IMO

My main concern is the crank trigger for the individual coils. I already have a wideband sensor. I also want to make sure it is sequential and not a bank to bank system.
thanks.

I'll have Gen 7 in Feb, if all things go as planned. Reason: As stated above, the tuner I'm choosing can do it well.

Noyz,
Jobe Jr. or your boys, either one can do it well, I've seen Jobes work (my friends TT "street" car doing 8.1 at 170 on a SBC) and one conversation with Ken made me feel more than comfortable choosing them as well.. He was great.
There are other well known tuners in this region that plain dont have the experience or knowledge at the level I'd prefer with Gen 7.
