So I finally got some seat time with the new FI setup, this is how describe it...."Holy fawk it shits and gits!"

now i still got more to do on the tune, there is a little bit of hesitation off idle, and my cruising KPa'a are pretty high which I fear is going to f up my mileage on the freeway unless I change my gear ratios in the trans. Overall everything is improved, idle, drivability, mid range, and topend. When I'm on it it doesn't sound like a volkswagen engine anymore :dance:

I still need to shoot a vid.
