B Lewis @ PE Engine Management

My name is Brian Lewis and I am one of the founders of Performance Electronics, Ltd., a small company that designs and produces engine
management systems. We have been working with several Formula SAE teams over the last 5 years and are interested in expanding our presence at this year's competition
We have a brand new design that will be available for this years competition. The system is small, lightweight, easy to tune and has many of the features that you would find in much higher priced units. In addition FSAE teams receive 20% discount off of the list price. This brings the total system price to only $760 USD. The features of the system are listed below.
In addition to the many great features of the system itself, Performance Electronics, Ltd. is committed to providing the best technical support
around. We have helped several first and second year teams make the transition to electronic control. The people that you talk to when you
call with a questions are the engineers who designed the hardware and software, not some new hire on a technical support hotline. Also, we have
sent at least one representative to the competition for the last five years to help with any last minute problems.
Please take a moment to visit our website at www.pe-ltd.com (http://www.pe-ltd.com) and check out the new system. A copy of the Installation/User's manual as well as the tuning software can be downloaded from the site. Just look under the "Support" heading at the top of the page. Thanks for your time. If you have any questions please feel free to call.
