Eddie -- Good job. And I too am a DIY guy... for most all things. I've been messing with EFI for 12+ years now... and have had more tunes and dyno sessions than I care to remember. I also tune myself.

I was teasing you... don't take it too personally... mostly for the statement about the EFI being the cause of the lean spots.

Here's the problem with a public forum like this. Someone makes a statement like that -- other people read it (so it's not just you and I having a discussion about it) -- and then they take that as "the gospel" and start making the wrong assumptions. This doesn't have to be about EFI - it can be about ride height and coil overs - or some blanket statement about carburetors. The point is - that they read some "problem" and then that becomes the truth about that product. My point was that the problems are generally (almost 100% of the time) NOT the EFI - but the tune or the way it was installed - or something OTHER THAN the actual system they purchased.

I personally can't imagine owning a car without EFI... in whatever form.... and I have heard, and witnessed, all the 'issues' out there. It's these 'issues' that people read or talk about that hold people back from 'seeing the light' and stepping up to EFI...
