Free is good - although I have found there is truth in the old saying "there is no such thing as a free lunch". So where is the hook?
I would find out how long they expected you to display their signage, then try to to strike a deal to run their exhaust, exhaust brake, high ram and of course their signs.
Then I would buy a set of ISSPRO gauges and call it good for awhile.
Good luck

I know the guy who owns the shop quite well. The deal is that I get the stuff, installed, and in return they get my rear window, and a 6" x 6" sticker on each side.

I would definitely be interested to know the length of the commitment. I mean sounds like a good deal to me but you dont want them to own you for years for 1500 worth of Mods. FREE is my favorite 4 letter word.

To further elaborate...
This is Ridgecrest, CA. I haven't ever seen a shop stay in business for more than a year, 2 at MAX not that I wish this business bad, because he is my friend.
I'm not sure that they'd "Own" me, in that yeah, I put their stickers on the truck, but normally, they'd stay on till they are rotten and need to come off anyhow.

Ottomind stacked with any Edge 24V box = excessive timing and engine grenading. Happened to a guy on TDR-- DO NOT STACK BOXES WITH OTTOMIND
I only have an EZ and injectors, which dynoed 380rwhp, 900+lb-ft. I get 20+mpg also and spent a total of $1060 on power mods. My setup works, but doesn't have the integrated approach of the Banks systems. So far, so good, though; I spent much less money than a full Banks system, so it's not going to be quite as nice.

This is a quote from the TDR thread:
The Comp has the same timing as the EZ does...
Read all about it here.
The combination of the Ottomind fuel module and the Edge EZ are akin to putting a detonator under your hood! Ottominds have variable timing and EZs ADVANCE timing, compounding a problem 2001 HO have when they leave the factory. Unusually high cylinder pressure and a fueling box that can't recognize this and defuel because advancing timing will lower EGTs. The Ottomind USES high EGTs as a warning to DEFUEL the VP-44, an already relativly 'fragile' injection pump to begin with. The EZ will 'blind' the Ottomind and create a 'runaway fueling' situation controllable only with your right foot. You think your truck is okay because you only see 1000 or so degrees on the pyro so you keep your foot in it.
