It would be worth it if it wasnt almost $500 for the 2 injector and $650 for the 4 injector setup. "Price, Controller only, USD $325. 2 injector kit, $160. 4 injector kit $320" It appears to be an RPM related system I see no MAP or boost referencing although it might just not be pictured. spend a little more and you could have a custom ECM, for a little less or the same you could be burning your own chips.

I can get the box with setup for 2 injectors for about 200$

now the problem is that I cannot get a custom ecm because of that optispark, I do not want to covert it to TPI style because it's too much money and because my cars runs really good for the first time now since I have fixed all the SES.

so at 200$, what do you think ???

I'd check with the LT1 guys..
They seem to have a handle on boost without running a FMU. The later ECM's seem to be able to deliver the additional fuel needed during boost.

Well i'm reading the instruction manual and that doesn't look too bad, fairly simple and no MAF needed, it can work on speed-density system aswell.

My friend is running that on his toyota. It works way better than an FMU. You just gotta figure out where you're gonna weld in the injector bungs. I'd buy it if it were only $200

You dont have to weld in the injector bugs. I would just buy a plate that sits behind the TB (like Willie) has (that plate is made to accept injectors). Then put the two injectors in the plate.

I just spoke with te guy that wants to sell it, the box he has is made for 6 cyl engine, is their any way to convert a 6cyl tach signal to a 8cyl signal ???


also , I called the computer that makes the box and they said they can convert it for me for 300$ Canadian... not really worth it if you ask me.
