CMF, Any comments on the system? Did you dyno tune? How did your a/f ratio come out?

Just a quick reminder... you will need aftermarket chips with any of these systems for the sole reason of getting rid of overboost protection (if you run more boost, obviously).

The more I research these systems the more I'm willing to spend the few extra bills for a stand alone system. In the long run it’s probably cheaper if you include the cost of a boost controller, fuel controller and timing control, plus it's just a better solution.
