Subject:      Re: Z-tech convert

I'm another happy Zetec customer and will vouch for their outstanding customer service.

In my case, I drove my 90 syncro westy to their shop where Jim and Brady did the conversion, installed the A/C and cruise, and sent me on my way back to Minneapolis. I left their shop within hours of completing the conversion and after a short test drive with J&B. I had one minor problem on the way home related to the idle, which Jim helped me easily correct by talking me through a quick adjustment over the phone.

For anyone contemplating this converion, I must say that the power and flexibility of this engine are outstanding. Even in "normal" ECU mode, I'm able to pull the fully loaded vehicle up hills at 65-70 mph -- faster if I want. And I'm getting 18-20 mpg on most tanks using regular gas. I'm very satisfied how the Zetec has transformed my driving experience and given me peace of mind on long trips. Another 500 mile trip this weekend with no problems. And many more on the way.

- Kevin
