Let's see, Commander 950 EFI,
One fellow in New Jersey witha 360 Dodge, 30 minutes withnhis laptop to get his dialed in. TBI. Hazardoud waste fqcility manager.
Another in Walnut, Ca., with his laptop as well, this one is a little different, Olds 442 with 455, and McCullock blow through supercharger, 30 minutes. TPI, This poerson also has a later model TBI Suburban he did the Edelbrock TBI tp TPI conversion on, and can't get the software to run the system right. His son has a C950, TPI, big block Ford, also, less than 30 minutes dial in time. Father, procurement manager for Rite-Aid Drug Stores, son, university student.
Louis Do, Southern California, 4 EFI international Harvester carryall and trucks, all 4, less than 40 minutes, and one with Affordable Injection recommended on the 'bionder Bulletin, which still doesn't run right, because their software just doesn't work (It'll be a Commander 950 soon). All are TPI. Accountant
NONE of these people work in the automotive or computer fields, and they got it done right off the bat. And, the fellow at Holley that designed and revises the C950, is easy to access for assistance. This is unlike the other system techs.
I'd say it isn't as hard to do for the average Joe, than it is being made out to be. Heck, if I can get it done, it has to be very dirt simple.
Sounds like some people are trying to make this stuff sound too techincal so the average guy will be scared into having only high dollar people work on it.
I don't know what the issues are with other systems, but if many on other sites that claim to be "expeerts" are having sooooo much trouble, maybe they are the problem, not the systems involved.
