About $650 for computer. $200 for software. Shopping around might get better pricing, plus this was a few years ago when I bought mine.

So you can use the GM harness? Is there a adapter plug or does the DFI computer plug right to the GM harness? Also can a guy go boosted later with the same ECU? Thanks, Dave

I repinned the factory harness. The connectors work, but the wires need to move around a bit. Yes the same DFI will work in boosted aplications. You just need to go to a 2-bar or 3-bar MAP sensor, and of course change the program. I bought all the stuff from http://www.fuelinjection.com/ Check out their site for more info.

As a side note, all your current sensors, including MAP sensor will work with the DFI.

I got my DFI for 1500$ with the harness and a 2 bar map sensor and the software and cable and that was a while back you check out www.jimsperformance.com they are pretty helpful with DFI stuff
