its worth it.. great system.. but if your not spinning your motor any higher the the factory computer can handle 7200rpm's.... then there really is no need for it.. the factory computer can do alot more than you think it can...

I have it. I love it. User friendly. Has soooo many areas to tune. Individual cylinder tuning, 4 calibrations can be saved, ....etc. Cost around $2000.

I'm converting mine right now, next week I should be able to tell you if it is worth any power. Under 7200, I will be really surprised if there is any gain. There is a lot you can do with the factory PCM that not many people seem to know about. I'm going to miss some features I had added to my stock PCM.
The added RPM range should make mine a little quicker, should know how much next week, or the following weekend. If you decide to buy one, shoot me a pm for a quote.

They are referring to an aftermarket ECM, not the Comp XFI series of cams.

Yup XFI is the ****..... endlessly programmable, Wide Band 02 compatible, and has plugs for just about ANY ignition setup you can think of... opti, true distributor, crank trigger, etc.....

the ability to tune just about ANY combo out there.... the nitrous features are pretty damn nice as well..control up to 4 stages all automated off sensor inputs..... time delay for the last three and any sensor trigger for the 1st....

I have it as well but yet to fire it up and start tuning. Worst part for me was the wiring but I had a friend help. I wish they would release the WB guage that they've been advertising for months.
