This seems to be a lid on this topic, not much is being discussed about the Gen7. My Gen 7 should be in within a few days I found out most of my information from the Mr Gasket website. www.mrgasket.com Other sites that have been helpful are

www.rancefi.com
www.force-efi.com (I ordered mine from them)

One thing I found interesting is that the Gen 7 does not come with the knock sensor harness, it is an additional 220 bucks. If you plan to run in sequential injection mode you need to get an Accel Dual Sync distributor which provided the ECM with cam and crank posistion signals.. I hope to start a discussion about this unit once I begin the program it, hopefully somebody will take the time to help because what I have learned is it can be difficult to calibrate your first time out of the box.!

Good Luck

One other thing, running pump gas, 11:1 compression and IRON heads is going to be a pinging ****, you may want to reconsider your compression. Running race gas is not an option unless you get the HIGH DOLLAR unleaded because the lead will mess up the 02 sensor.

I was running 9.8:1 with iron heads and it was a pinging SOB and after several failed attempts at an acceptable fuel/timing curve I gave up swapped on a set of Aluminium heads and ordered the Gen 7.
