yep same thing.... it has a dial on the inside that changes fuel maps... like i said... to ME its not worth the money.... an afc for 200 will do the job just the same if not better.... fcon, gcc, vpc, fcc, etc et al is all OLD ASS technology...it will work but id rather go with other options.

again this is IMHO

Limited capabilities with not enough features. And why would you buy somthing without researching it? I reccomend MegaSquirt if anything and you can get the whole kit for 400 @ GlensGarage.com and for a nice little read if you realy wanna tune it and get into it go here Tuning Your MegaSquirt I've read it like 5 times and everything I learn more and more.
