HemiTronix

Thanks Jed,

Interesting, read the attached Mopar Action which was interesting.

Pros:

Cheaper than the FAST or AEM units.
Allows full control over both fuel and spark.
Retains knock sensors
Comes with an initial tune
Retains OEM error codes for easier diagnostics
Very complete solution, includes fuel pump and regulator

Cons:
More expensive than Megasquirt or Modified Factory ECM and modified wiring harness
Requires you to pull the crank and timing cover to change the tone wheels
Doesn't explain how it gets around the GM MAF sensor

Generally speaking, I am cautiously optimistic about this. The price is competitive and the full tuning capabilities is encouraging. My only real concern is that magazine write-ups tend to be a bit too optimistic about the effectiveness of aftermarket solutions.

I have some questions that aren't answered on their web page or in the article, and since I'm not seriously considering buying their system, I don't want to pester them with a bunch of questions simply to satisfy my own curiosity. But here are my questions:

How good are the "tunes" supplied? FAST supplies tunes with their systems, but I've read that while they are useful for getting the motor running they are far from ideal.

Does their system convert the Mopar fuel injection to a MAF setup?

Do they supply the tuning software? For example, the tuning software from HP tuners can be 500.00 per car, clearly this would add greatly to the price. If it includes tuning software that could be considered another bonus.


The most important thing is that this is ANOTHER way to get a Gen III Hemi into a muscle car. The more options we have, the more competition we have the better off we will all be in the long run.

Regards,
