We are a little embarrased about our funding shortfall and we don't want the next management level to come
down on us. We would like to keep our special project quiet until it pans out a bit more. We like the response so far and we would urge those who have submitted designs directly to us, to send them to diy_efi at diy-efi.org to insure everyone has a chance to judge the results themselves.

Your design will be handled with the utmost confidance. Your peers will be our judge on this. We are sure Ford will also play ball on this, they also want to spend less on their EFI designs. 

We will organize a web site when we have more information and images that I'm sure will be forthcoming from interested parties.

PS. Thanks for your thoughts Bruce, but we want to keep it simple and try and use just a single 555 for the main circuit. We would be happy for your design to use the low power CMOS 555 variant - we are always looking to reduce our fossil fuel reliance.
