He needed an EFI guy! He struggled doing my buddies 8 stack FAST EZ EFI install!! LOL
And to be totally honest about NW Track days.... they're just not the same as running Sonoma -- Laguna Secca.... or getting out of the PNWet in the winter and hitting a nice dry sunny day track event in Kalleeeforneea. But I will make an event with you guys soon.

Totally get it about the Cali tracks. I'm hoping to get there myself starting next year. My company (Autodesk) is based in S.F. And I did Skip Barber at Laguna.
Steve Heino and I went in together building a new facility to house his business, with a corner for my stuff too. It's a great building, and biz is booming since he moved there late last year.
I've done the tuning for Steve 1-2 days a week for years now. I don't really get paid for it, just enjoy using my background to help make customer cars run better. Your buddy with the Inglese was not an ideal case - the Inglese/FAST marriage was clearly a problem of left hand/right hand not talking, with install problems from day 1. And I've commented here before on the limitations of EZ/EFI and similar self tuning systems - they work within the narrow range of assumptions built into the tuning algorithms, but outside that range, you better be able to plug in the laptop and fix things, or you're screwed. If I'd had recourse to do that on that IR install, it would have run 500% better, 500% sooner. Just sayin'
BTW, the newer Holley Terminator, HP, Dominator systems all have excellent self tuning with recourse to manual/laptop, and I'm a big fan of those right now. That's the direction I'd go for most retrofit EFI these days.
