If add the cost for an XFI, Coil over plug, 4l80e controller, boost controller, traction control and flex fuel control, you will be way over that plus the cost of tune on top of that.

All these prices really make the Holley efi look like the way to go! It is very popular around here. Some very fast cars in the area are running it. The boost controller kicks butt too.
I have avoided making comments and didn't want to take anything away from the OP, but some comparisons keep getting brought up that I must clarify.
IMO: $5000 is REAL steep considering most of the Buick owners don't use all those options and run the stock ignition. Are you forced to run CNP with this ecu? Does it use the factory crank, cam, and other sensors? Boost control and flex fuel control are already incorporated in the $1900 xfi complete plug and play (car can quickly be returned back to stock) package at no additional cost. Every XFI purchased from me comes pre-programmed with a custom start up tune and FREE tech support for the entire time you own it.
If a customer wants to run a distributor, the XFI plug and play harness is only $75 plus ignition components.
If a customer wants to run CNP it is $1400 INCLUDING brand new GM Coils, brackets, plug wires, etc.. and is 100% plug & play. If they have coils, brackets, wires, it's under $1000
If a customer wants to run a 4L80 transmission the controller is $618
The ProEFI traction control appears to be geared more for street use (comparing wheel speed sensors), where the XFI is geared for track use. If a customer wants to run ITC that it's a $400 option.
So IF a customer wants to run flex fuel, boost control, CNP, traction control, a 4L80E transmission the XFI cost would be $1900+$1400+$618+$400=$4318 before any package pricing discounts. It would be under $4000 if they already have a MAP sensor, coils, brackets, etc..
I certainly wasn't trying to take anything away from this system. I only posted because Prasad said "If add the cost for an XFI, Coil over plug, 4l80e controller, boost controller, traction control and flex fuel control, you will be way over that ($5000) plus the cost of tune on top of that." He also mentioned it being "the best bang for his buck"
You didn't mention, will Pro EFI run the factory CCCI ignition?
When I mention purchasing the harnesses for the XFI, it's just because they are plug & play and the car can be returned to stock. Not a requirement. If you wanted to re-pin your stock harness you can get into an XFI w/boost control and flex fuel for around $1650 and only have to pay for the additional options you need. Other than the WBO2, I can have an XFI with an adaptor harness installed and running in about an hour. Heck, I used to install and tune them at the Nationals.
Rather than making comparisons, I'll step out and hopefully the thread will get back on track about how happy the 3 guys are with their purchase

Yes, you buy the pig tail harness from Caspers. you need on one for the ECM and module. Send them to SP or Proefi and they will put the pro efi ends on. around 85-100 dollars over at Caspers and 200 or so at Proefi. The O2 is like 130 dollars but I am not sure what brand it is.is there a harness available for the basic system? (to wire into a buick)
what kind of wideband 02 sensor does it use?
I dislike when people mislead others like Cal has. If Cal would like to really compare the 2 and disclose everything lets do a video.Im ready when you are. I love to tell the truth. And if Im wrong, I admit it...blah, blah, blah....Well About the only thing Cal said right is Lets Get Back to this Original Post. It's about 3 people that Followed in Turbo Cliffs footsteps and Purchased the PROEFI unit to bring the car to the 21 century and Wanted to share something positive with the Rest of the Buick Brothers and sisters .
