You forget to add that if you blow a tire it's the opti.

Ive never replaced an OPTI thankfully... and never will.

After all the threads I've seen out of the corner of my eye related to optispark, I'd rather change an engine than the opti.

there should be a thread dedicated to donations for people with optispark to get them new engines.

Well I figured the third sentence would help show that I was joking a little. but in all seriousness, there are alot of threads about opti, and alot of heartache surrounding it to those... new to it or unfamiliar with it. It reminds me of the crossfire 1983 injection manifold- Chevy immediately realized they did something wrong and we never saw it or anything remotely close to it again after 1-2 years of limited production.

Changing an Opti takes me less than an hour now. It's really not that bad.
