Dave,

Yours is the absolute best reason to add FI to your coach-- cause I want to!  I felt the same way when I put the wild looking direct port set up in my coach "Larry" and loved to just pop the engine cover and mess with it.  Watching the data screen on my lap top was cool and impressive and I would have had to go through that all to be where I am today.  Would not change a thing.

The day I threw an alternator belt and the wires going to my sensor on the trigger wheel mounted on the harmonic balancer were ripped out of the sender from a Beretta and there was nothing to do but call Mr. Hook, I realized I was out there on the road relying on a machine I could not deal with when a problem came up I would have given anything to just have a blaster carb and an HEI dist. on the motor that I woke up and asked the question, what was I doing!

Different people have different epiphanies, for me it was the KISS system that won out.

Best? Them's warin' words, Pilgrim!

I don't know, but JR Wheeler put together a group buy with Howell. They modified their kits for the GMC Motorhome, and many have reported good success with it. It uses standard GM parts.

BDub has a very good piece of cyberspace dedicated to this <http://www.bdub.net/jrwheeler>

I intend to install the Howell system in my coach late this summer (if all goes well!) This can be made to accept electronic spark control and there is an add-on "EBL" that allows you to update the tables without the need to burn a new chip. This stuff really appeals to the Geek in me, and I have no dreams of saving money, or getting great mileage, etc. I just want the motor to idle and run as smoothly as possible, and have a new toy to play with!

No Authority, I.

I see in some of the postings that there are several different TBI systems...TurboCity, Howell...and some others. Which one is the best to get installed?
