I don't know in terms of power because I won't have time to take it to the dyno until maybe mid-January, however it drives like normal, revs responsive and starts every time.
I think the best advice I can give to novices like myself that are planning on using megasquirt is to install Ford EDIS. The the fabrication is more time consuming initially, but the probability of getting it right the first time is greater. Many toyota people play around with line conditioners to try and get the signal right for the megasquirt and end up with EDIS eventually after getting frustrated with signal glitches.
megasquirt 1 kit $136.00
EDIS 6 kit $70.00 (All necessary wiring and connectors, EDIS 6 Coilpack, plug wires, EDIS igniter, VR sensor and trigger wheel)
PS. the 7MGTE coilpack and plug wires could have been used instead with the EDIS igniter.
loom with 12' of wiring from DIYAutotune $65.00
time to solder MS and build wire loom including soldering all connections ~14hrs.
time to fabricate EDIS sensor bracket and mount EDIS trigger wheel ~4-6 hrs. I am not a machinist or even a mechanic, just an 'average joe', persons with more skills can cut time down by half.
