Seems like it could be a decent system if it's made well and the software/app is as user-friendly as they make it seem.

Looks cool but I'd keep an HEI in the trunk just to get home if it puked in the middle of nowhere.

That is pretty slick. Wonder if it is made in the US?

I just checked out the Progression website and Facebook page. Must be a very new. Their HEI is slick as well, just the same as the one in the video except it has the coil built in and uses a regular HE cap. I run a HEI on my hotrod now, I am seriously considering swapping out to one of their HEI replacements. My worry is reliability, and how long the company will be around for support.

As I said before, I wonder if their stuff is made in the USA. The company is based in California.

I'm probably getting it. May wait another day or two to order, just for good measure. I can't see the down side though, other than that it is new and no one seems to have it yet. Has a year warranty, that is making me feel pretty comfortable.

I like it’s simplicity, no need for a separate box or a laptop to change things

Next "progression" is traction control. If they haven't already incorporated in their own version. :shock:
It would be a pretty stealthy traction control setup on a circle track car.
