So turns out after having a few back and forth emails and 40 minute phone conversation turns out I need to send the ecu back to have them try to recover the ecu something happened to it to where I can no longer upgrade the firmware or communicate with the computer. Asked him if it was the cable but he said since I can go from offline to usb link that it is sensing something on the other end but can't talk to it

I don't think it sucks. It sounds like you got someone on the phone that knows their stuff. These after-market ECUs are always a "process". We'd like for them to drop in and run the perfectly the first time while scheduling vet appointments and reminding us to pick up the kids but meh... Once you get it officially sorted out, I'll bet you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

USB even... High tech chit for these cars. LOL

It looks a damn sight better than the TwEECer V2 setup that I had. What a PITA that thing was.

I hear that tweecer is hard to work with... When this comes back and I can connect to it they actually have a base tune map for a 302 sbf turbo car I just have to change a few parameters and it should start right up ... Barring everything is ok mechanically

Alright so while I'm waiting on the ecu to come back. I bought this shifter cover from Scott rod fab. I think it looks good im also having him make a center console for me as well ... It's not on his website yet but he's made one for someone already. What do y'all think? This isn't my car obviously just the one he's made so far.

I hope you guys like it because I sure am pleased with the car. I can't wait to hand this off to nick and Chris to get this car tuned. @Noobz347 im having trouble uploading my video can you lend me a hand?

Mike, are you using YouTube for your video?? That is hands down the easiest way I've found. Just copy the url and paste it here.

Beautiful car, btw! I'm looking forward to hearing it!

Is that a lean surge for the first few seconds? You may want to check the after start enrichment and decay rate. May need a little more fuel after it fires up.

Awesome that you got it going though. It's a great feeling, isn't it?
