Is there a true plug-n-play setup for a 5.7 with FI yet?

I am simply going to respond to a couple of points that you made above that are particularly problematic.

1) Flat out wrong. The absolute cheapest method to transplant a Gen III Hemi into classic Mopar is to Carb it. The second cheapest is MS2, the Third Cheapest is MS 3. Your solution isn't much cheaper than the FAST setup.

Using your own website it becomes clear that your system isn't cheaper.

According to your own advertisement the cost for a complete kit, plug and play is $2749.00 Then if you read the advertisement carefully you recommend a Diablo Tuner for an additional $400.00 to $600.00.

The combined price above makes your system MORE expensive than the FAST setup.

4) Yes, there are lots of people familiar to tuning Gen III hemi's but am I able to create a custom tune with the Diablo hand-held tuner? The answer is no. I am dependent upon custom tunes provided by black box artists. To me this is the greatest weakness of the Diablo solution. I want to be able to sit at a laptop and do my own analysis of my tune. Right now that simply isn't possible with the Diablo. If and its a big IF, HP Tuners ever gets their stuff together and offers a laptop tuning solution than this might be moot.

I disagree with #1 regarding cost. I modified the factory harness and I am using the stock PCM. Everything came from a 05 truck. No cost for a carb, intake, or controller. I had a lot of time in going through the harness and adding fuses and relays to the right circuits, but very little monetary cost. I also modified the fuel pump to work in my tank keeping that cost down as well.

Right now you can get a Diablo Predator u7137 tuner for $239.50 from Summit. It does allow some customization of some parameters within the tune such as rev limits. There are also different tunes based on fuel selection. I didn't need the predator to get everything running and driving, but I bought one to change rev limits and get a performance tune for high octane fuel. I will likely eventually get a custom tune to better match my setup with headers, CAI and no rear O2 sensors.
