Buying an FC with Haltech

what should I look for when buying an FC with the Haltech EK6 ? I've never own a car with a programmable system on board so I have no clue of what I should be aware of

Firstly, the E6K is already somewhat old, BUT! that doesnt mean it doesnt do the job well. The first question you should ask is "Is the car in 100% running condition?" Is it fully tuned, can you start it and go?

2nd set of questions would be, whats the over all condition of the car, what year, what mods does it have, whats to be expected from the motor, who built it, how much compression does it have, etc.

If the K is good, and the car runs good, you shouldnt have to worry. I would obviously suggest you sell the K after you get the car, and buy a Sport 1000 box, but thats for you to decide.

well it has a street port, short ram, and a racing beat exhaust system and that's it for mods. When I was talking to him he said something about the system is running a looper which means its bypassing the o2 sensor which is why it's getting like 13mpg, something i should worry about?? here are some vids of the car and the Haltech EK6
