And when you have more transient fueling tables you CAN'T have worse drivability, unless you don't know how to use them.
Again the new Holley system is much better than it's little brother but I'd still put the drivability of the Accel against anything in this class.
How many patents does the Holley or FAST have? 0, Accel? 3. The Accel was the innovator. And for sake of arguement I became an Accel dealer after I bought the system.
Thanks.

Accel didn't even know how to use them when I was tuning one............
THE most frustrating system to tune for me at the time. Replaced my buddies unit (which I talked him into based just on the specs) with a FAST and had it running perfect the same afternoon. Spent months on that thing with the Accel Gen VII and never got it right.
I am POSITIVE it's very capable, but it is not the easiest to tune. In my opinion it's the most difficult I've ever done, and I've done quite a few different systems. Once you figure it out it's probably great, and maybe at some point in the future I may try it again. Just explain that TAU vs map box and I'll be good to go.
All Accel could tell me is to play with it. And no, I am NOT kidding.
The dealer I bought it from didn't know exactly how to set that up either; couldn't explain what it was even trying to do, but it's a major part of the transient tuning.
I think they did a lot of damage when that system was first released by letting pretty much anybody become an EMIC. The vast majority of them had no idea how to use the software, and couldn't help the end-users. That had to hurt the reputation. The 3-4 dealers in my area all stopped carrying it in within months of starting the program.
