Default cost to install engine analyzer (4 cyl)?

i fly behind an 0-300 (145 h.p.) continental so i guess that low power,
low compression is accurate but so is safe, steady, smooth and
dependable too. i like it. i don't have any great expectations of huge
operational benefits running l.o.p. but i would like to get the thing
to full t.b.o. and beyond. it's only got 350 hours now so i have the
opportunity to make a big difference in it's operational life. i
think that the main benefit will be in having confidence that i know
whats going on inside the thing and in learning how best to operate it.
given the joys of cessna fuel guages, the genefits of the gas totalizer
are obvious.

given all that, i'm still anxious to hear what denny was talking about
on getting frustrated etc. i'm here to learn.

Yep. I'd hate to do without it.


I forgot to mention the alarm feature. When any cylinder head temp goes
above 400F, my JPI starts flashing a warning light. A very good thing to be
warned about... I can then take immediate corrective action... cowl flaps...
mixture... airspeed... whatever.

It also warns if any other parameters are out of spec. A great safety
feature!!!!
