That's likely correct. They would have continued to sell terminator and HP systems starting at 3K, plus ancillary support items. FiTech really drove this market.

Quick update as long as I'm responding. The tuning issues I was having with my previous FiTech on my new engine are all completely gone. It's pretty clear that whatever faults were going on with the ECU on the old one was causing a fairly significant detriment to the smooth running of engine.

I've spent some time researching timing and fueling strategies more closely and I've been implementing some ideas based on that. For one, I'm no longer ramping in a bunch of timing as quickly as possible. Although the engine didn't mind that and it made gobs of torque, very early, by slowing down the timing curve, the street manners have really gone up and it's helping the loose torque converter couple better at low speeds. This in turn is making the upshifts and lock-up events from the transmission buttery smooth instead of jerky.

After a bit more drive time, I'm gonna try and find a loaded hub dyno to get some time on and I'm going to tune each individual VE cell, then lock down the long term learn and limit short term trims.

EDIT: Also noticed in my first post of this thread I said the nominal cost was $200/month, that's $200/year.
