    hey, just wondering what you guys thing I should do,

    firdt off dont want to wait for the new projection +Plus as its atleast 2+ months away

    so should I buy a used projection 1 for 1000(new, not installed, boxes just open for pictures) ...bid ends sunday, or should I try and see if I can scrap up $$$ for a projection III( seems like install would be easier and better tunning perameters but no ignition control which isnt really a problem for me)

    Well, the Powerjection III is a great system and relatively easy to install but not nearly as easily as it advertises. If you already have the fuel system done then install really is easy. I would suggest getting the stand alone system without the fuel pump or regulator. It's cheaper to buy them separately and you'll get better equipment. As far as the plus system, you might want to call Powerjection because I'm pretty sure they're already offering them but you have to call them.

    yea, I'll be getting it with no fuel systewm if I can somehow weasel another 500 for the projection III

    the uninstalled projection 1 system comes wth the fuel system though I still wont use it...opening bid is 1k ends this sunday though

    the projection + Plus wont hit til a couple months from now, as I already inquired about it..


    so if the projection 1 stays within a grand, or a bid over or so, would it still be a good deal to get that instead of the projection III?

    thanks man

    i'm just going to go with the projectiopn 3, that way i know its new and not relaying on the ebay seller to be truthful.
    and it only has 2 wire hookups instead a rats nest like the first version.
    i'm sure it has better tunning perameters also

    and with a msd 6btm and fuelab pump..it'll be essentially a projection +plus

    Mike you had me googling for 10 minutes before I realized it's "powerjection", not "projection". :spank:

    Don't discount the benefits of infinitely adjustable spark control.

    wel i'll eventually get their distributor(powerfire) which has easy ajustment knobs ..and the msd 6btm has boost retard dial inside the car, so it'll be all good in the hood man
