nope sorry matt ... first in fl with dfi would be mike from down south at speed demon racing .... the actual first , i think was v spec in cali ... then shorty after him was wayne (phase 2 motor trend), eric naal in texas had 5 running on dfi before ralph , then there was a few assorted others, then was mark , who i gave all my direct fire and stock ecu stuff to for his dist and jwt ecu , and the know how to put it in. this was 97, and I WAS THE FIRST SR IN FL , before ralph and mike , but i was running jwt . shortly after that mark gave me the wiring info, while ralph was still being a dick and not getting any help, and mike was running on marks info . eventully he figured it out on his own ( big props), but by then i was dfi ,my boy kevin was dfi , and there was 3 others running around down south. i think there was running dfi rb25 before ralph was done with his sr ....ralph was the first to post the info for free , and opened up alot of avenues , he was an early pioneer , but he was far from the first ... not even close... you can check me on this if you wnat , ask asad or wayne , or slidesqaudmark .....
