Felpro EFI review

[greg kring]

Mine cost right at $2000. It's a DIS system with idle air control. That's also with
the sequential injection and the wide band O2 sensor, both of which are extra cost
options.  We all know the list cost of the wideband is in the 500 dollar range, so go
from there. In my opinion if you aren't going to spring for the wide band there is no
sense in getting it. Find a used DFI for about 500 and use that instead. If I was more
computer literate I'd use a stock ECM and burn my own chips, but I'm not so I have to
go the aftermarket route. Plus it's the only way I know of currently to get a wideband
tuned system.
