Hmmmmm........not sure that anything mentioned earlier was solely "cd'e".
Instead,  a few comments regarding a product that I'd wished had been
available much earlier, based upon common sense/need in the EFI
world...............

Really?.....I have to wonder..............




>So did you wanna pay nearly twice what you needed to?



Depending upon the relative cost penalty, YES.  Twice very little extra is
easy for most people to absorb.  I still think that if you logically think
through the approach to your "box" then you can both satisfy everyone's
needs and at the same time develop a product with a much broader
scope..............

Give a little thought to the guy who wants to use your "box" for something
out-of-the norm, or without all the DIY hassle.  Does it really matter if
your box is less than $400?  Individual BPW adjustments on a HIPO port motor
will be absolutely essential, as will configurabilitity.  Give these a few
thoughts..............

Are you in the market to undersell the aftermarket, or to sell a product
which is far superior?  Re-read my post and then understand the
meaning/difference.............

I think the aftermarket is currently "undercrowded" in this particular
arena..............
