Watching closely regardless because I'm interested in something like this for my 64.
I don't see why it wouldn't be. All I have done is emailed and talked with them on the phone. Just like anyone else can do.

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.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Does it run? What they need to do is find a produce packing shed (not hard to find in california) park the vehicle over night in the cooler and try to start it stone cold!

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Here is a email from Ken...

It's been on the Dyno and on the road. Also it is a mustang md 1750 dual eddy current Dyno. Taking it home tonight and driving it tomorrow and back to you on Monday. Figured we would put 10 psi to it while we were at it!

I asked him what dyno they had it on that's why he told me what dyno it is.
FiTech is a class act in my book!!

So...does it appear it was the tables? Or did they repair something?

And...awesome that it looks like it's fixed...

They did not go into great detail about it. I posted what I was told. That's all I know as of now. I am emailing Ken and Jeremy back and forth as I post this. But I did reset everything and put it back to base 0 levels and did a relearn just like it was first installed did the initial setup and every thing and tested it that evening and no luck. Take that back I changed the WOT AFR. So they got it the way it left my truck after starting all over again. Minus the o2 sensor. That is why they are sending me a new o2 sensor.
What ever it was if it is running like in the video Ken sent me everyone will hear me shout with joy lol. Damn I wish this video would post so you all could see it.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Why the hell am I getting all excited waiting for the weekend to end so Rod can get his unit back?

Oh wait, I know.
It's because I'm still hopeful that this works out and I will get the same tech support if I have a problem with mine, which isn't until spring.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

I haven't installed mine yet but I can tell you their support has been great. I must have called them 5 times before I purchased and they were helpful each time. My friend put it on his tbi 1990 454 and said it drove much better, so looking forward to getting mine on. Thanks for all the info here!

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Ray here.
To be fair to tech. I lack table manners when it comes to phone calls.
Your ether offended by it or amused by it!!
After 40 years of doing tech calls myself I can be to the point and a little short on talk time.
I have found I can tell shorty when things are going nowhere while on the phone...
And yes I have treated some people better than others for the same problem.

I do VERY poorly with doctors too.

Ray
