I said I would post my first impressions of the ProEFI on my car. Let me start by saying that my budget is tight, so I am spending my money in the places I see most important first. It will be a while before I can afford to build an engine, so I chose engine management first, turbo kit second becuase it would suck to have a turbo and have to attempt to drive it like stock!

So, I have a completely 100% stock daily driver with a ProEFI and all the sensors. I was told when I dropped the car off that it would most likely take a bit longer cranking to start because of a sync issue that has been found and is in the works to be fixed (the update of course would be no charge). However I haven't seen anything too much out of the ordinary so far. I picked up the car, fired right up.....perfect Idle...Yahoo!

Drove it to the gas station, and filled it up and reset my trip....we'll see what affect there is on fuel economy. My normal around town driving with the occasional freeway driving usually nets me about 17mpg...so we'll see where that goes. I will say this, if it weren't for the added off idle throttle response, and the additional top end power, I would swear the stock computer was still in control. My car picked up 12hp to the tires, with just a little more midrange power, maybe 1 or 2 hp, and about 20' lbs of torque at 2k. Have not noticed a single glitch or hiccup of ANY kind whatsoever! Cruise works, air works...everything works!

I'll give another update in a day or two!
