Yes, Ken was behind retrotek, which was sold to Professional Products and rebranded as Powerjection. We've been through all that before. I know you've had issues with your Powerjection system and feel slighted by it's lack of support. Since it's not a retrotek, that issue falls on Profession Products who purchased the company and rights to that intellectual property. In truth I haven't heard much good about that system.

That said, I think that FiTech at this point has proven itself pretty well. In this thread alone there are 5 well functioning units. I know Squidward has two, er455 has one and I have two. I can't speak to the others, but my Go EFI 4 has been in service for over 3 years now and has about 15000 miles on it. I also have a Go Street on my Wife's Chevelle that has been in operation about 3/4's of a year and about 2000 miles. I've had only a single issue crop up on mine that was related to the product itself. I detailed that in the street section for all to view if they are inclined. It was a connector failure for which the early units were prone to before they switched the connector. It cost me 40 bucks and about an hour of work, so I didn't lose sleep over it.

Like it or not, the FiTech disrupted the market in a positive way. It spawned price matched clones from Holley and Summit (which is just a rebranded FiTech). For the hobbyist that wants to drive their car and doesn't want to deal with the ever increasing issue of modern fuel and carburetors, it's put EFI within reach. Until FiTech, you were looking at 3-5K and a significant learning curve to make the swap.
