This allows individual cyclinder correction of fuel and timing to get the best possible tune. Attached are a few pics of the engine the Keith Craft did for me.

I've gotten some interest from several folks on this forum on the Electronnic traction Control setup that I'm installing on my ERA Cobra so I thought I'd post an update. The ETC system is based on the latest version of the FAST XFI ECU. The system uses a driveshaft speed sensor (picturedbelow) to allow the EFI computer to detect when the rear wheels begin to speed. When this happens, the ECU retards the ignition timing which reduces the motor's torque output and controls the spin.
The driveshaft sensor is a custom made part. ERA, a local machinst, and I collaborated to modifity a standard FAST driveshaft sensor to create the custom setup for my ERA cobra. I'm anxious to see how this setup will perform.
