Very Important
I just thought I would add a post here about how to best learn the EFI system.
Anyone considering the EFI, MUST MUST MUST be willing to learn atleast the basics of the software. Most any decent tuner will be able to get the car to run well on the dyno. The maps floating around will get your car close...perhaps very close, but not perfect (that's the point of a standalone- to fine tune).
There's no black magic in fine tuning a bit here and there to take a borrowed map and make it your map and work perfectly on your car.
It simply take *willingness to learn* the software and do a little tinkering. For small drivability issues, idle, cam change, starting, etc, you simply make a small change and go for a drive. Be sure to save your old map in a safe place and just start tweaking. Small or fine tuning will not blow your engine and doesn't take years of tuning to figure out. It just takes some experimentation and curiosity.
So how do you learn the software? Your best bet is the phone. Call the people that have the EFI and ask them. I bet they'll be happy to visit. Whether it's me, Kris, Dave, Casey, Fred, etc just give 'em a call. Then refer back to these tuning tips for reference... It's really quite fun, but you need to want to learn it...
Best,
Phil
