@pocketlock did you end up going with Aces? I've been debating between them and the Proflo 4 lately. Aces is ~half the cost all in so its appealing on that basis.
We ended up going with an ACES royal flush kit. Still in the process of installing it. Quality of packaging and the unit have been top notch, wiring feels like a step down from Holley's stuff but not bad or cheap by any means. The ecu is separate and feels nice. Had to send it in under warranty due to the locking tab for the throttle body being broken and not retaining the harness. So far happy with everything i'm seeing. Hoping to get it fired up in the next month or so.

I went ahead and bought the Killshot master kit, I just finished the install on Sunday. So far everything has been going good, I've got maybe 50 miles on it right now. The only issue that I have right now is backfiring wile coming off throttle / engine braking. Other than that it runs great, so much more responsive than a carb.

There are alot more options in the software than Holley, i'm certain there's a decay setting somewhere you could fiddle with to help that. There is also a remote tuner out of VA that is recommended alot on the forums/pages. I can't remember his name right now though.

Where is the ECM mounted on your installation?

On ours we mounted it inside on the passenger side kick panel just in front of the air intake for the heater box. Fits well and can see if it has power from the driver seat for troubleshooting. It goes through grommets into the engine bay for all the necessary connections though. Looks like there's may be similar but hard to see for certain since the killshot has a smaller computer than the Royal flush.

I need to mess with it, but I need to fix my header leak first. I think I know who you are talking about, I think I have a tab open on one of my other computers for them. If I can't get it figured out I'll pay for a remote tune from them.

@pocketlock and @Mikes79Bronco any updates on the KillShot system?
No real updates, I have a few hundred miles on it right now. Only issue is still just the backing firing while engine braking / shitting. I have an exhaust leak to fix, hoping that helps resolve the issue but after that I'll dive into tuning. Hoping to have time to deal with the exhaust this week. Its running good, better than it ever did before but I also never put much time into tuning the carb and ignition curve before.

I left mine in the engine bay, on the passenger inner fender.
