The Fi Tech is a simple system that you input a few numbers and itself learns from there. It starts up very easy and goes right to warmup. It will also idle up when the AC comes on.
I wondered how the Gear Vendors did its thing..... My Model-A has a Mitchell Overdrive unit that's a manually selected gear splitter. I wasn't sure how much electronics were part of the GV set-up so I guess I should look into them.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
