yeah, it just doesn't have the software or tuning resolution of the modern systems or normal GM ecu's. I got some help from a GM engineer to get it to at least a point where I could tune from, and the car ran pretty good by the time I was done. I just would not recommend it based on my experience with it.

It's like most systems, if tuned properly it's capable, but this one just is a lot tougher than it needs to be to get right.
