Travis,
I was the watcher and not the doer. I am confident that if I had read the manual I could have muddled through. Populating tables is a repetitive function that is easily handled and you would be working from an existing baseline specific to your 1800 as opposed to a cold start. The displays are great and the menus are more intuitive than your basic cell phone. I am sure the folks there will be able to deal with the various install and tuning problems the user gets himself into. The manual and install procs are on the web site. You will need a wideband sensor to tinker at the track.
Mac Spikes has an 1800 and is going to see Jerry on his way to the ARRC. He would probably let you know how he made out with his "supa fly tune".
The AFM was tuned by John Williams with that engine on a dyno. I am pretty certain that he got all he could get using an AFM.
