This Fella at Electromotive has a reputation nationwide. If you look
at his advertising it raves on about how great it is, and when you
read the small print it sez nothing is guaranteed more than 90 days!
These things go gor 1500-3000 bucks and are guaranteed for 90 days?
Not in my lifetime! Further I personally know of people that have 
installed his systems and the instructions are inadequate to the point 
that somebody who builds race cars for a living  got a ground wrong
that the instructions didn't address and fried the whole system, and
of course no guarantee.$$$$more$$$$
   I've also heard from many diferent sources that even if you 
get them to work initially(no small challenge) the longevity is
frequently less than 2 yrs.
   So folks, this guy should show you how bad you can be and still
be successful in this field. 
   From what I hear when he shows up at the specialty equip. 
manufacturers assn. people gang up on him to argue.
  A real prize!
