Thats a plug and play engine harness to adjust your timing curve and inj pulse and basically everything!

it was $1006 with the map sensor. my car has a custom chip in it now but i dont like the tune and the only good ford efi tuner around here isnt the nicest person...ill leave it at that. since i decided to increase the boost and add a methanol kit so my car runs horribly rich. plus i like the idea of being able to change my tune when ever i feel like it. the pms can also be programed to run more less timing and more fuel if the engine gets hot.
i dynoed at 403rwhp with an afr of 10:1
afm got 90rwhp from just putting on their mr. freeze kit and adding timing...no extra boost. with that in mind, im hoping that running a leaner afr, more boost, more timing and methanol as a boost cooler i should pick up close to 100rwhp. not bad for a daily driver
should the worst happen and the motor splits, im already planning a twin turbo 408 just hope i dont have to build it any time soon

UPDATE! finished putting the pms in. happy, yet very dissapointed in the condition of my car. found that the left o2 is reading 0v at start up so pc is compensating with more fuel so teh right side of the engine reads 4.99v so idle is ruff because the left side has an afr of 18:1 while the right is rich (dont have a wide band on the right). after about 2 minutes the left one begins to read properly so i plan to just replace both o2's.
ever since i got my sc ive had problems with pulley alignment on the passanger side and the belt squeels horribly if i give it any gas. since i plan to pull the sc bracket off completely, i plan to have my 3g alt tested because im barely getting 12v at idle and when i cruz around i still just barely get 12v. what makes me mad is that i just got it back a couple days ago because i sent it to texas to have it fixed because it stopped working. i paid $24 to ship it to texas and $16 to ship it back only to get my alt back and it doesnt work.
then to top it all off, i have torn ligaments in my foot so it hurts like hell to use the brake so i havent been driving for almost 3 weeks and i wont be driving any time soon. no tuning for me at least i started tuning the pulse width during engine cranking. took out 40% fuel and that helps it start faster. also added 6* at idle to the timing
