No one ever said you had to go directly to Electromotive to get their
wheels, or that you need to tell them what you are using it for. Call up
one of their dealers, or ask them for a dealer in your area.

Being a race car builder does not make someone a qualified stereo
installer. Installing an aftermarket efi system doesn't require much more
skill than doing a high end stereo install. Many mechanics couldn't
properly install a stereo, so how could one expect them to do an efi
system?
As far as getting one going, all it takes is some common sense and
patience.

Based on your experience, who in the field offers better value,reliability
and ease of installation/tuning?

This doesn't surprise me, due to their lack of tact on the phone, but
it is probably just those incompetents that shouldn't have bought the
system in the first place.
