Poll question: WOULD YOU PURCHASE AN ECU REPLACEMENT FROM HOWELL AUTOMOTIVE/AFX ?

I choose d) depends on price and what it can offer

IE. Would it be substantially better than a Super AFC and ITC setup, and how much would it cost, and what gains we could get out of it. If it's anything like a JET chip, then no.

I agree with Eclipse804, depends on the price.

I can't argue with dyno numbers and prices for the neon computers. Hopefully ours would be right around the same numbers on both price and HP.



Here's all the different ones available for the DOHC neon, they also have them for the SOHC.

Well if we would be able to get 20+ hp and we could remove the rev limiter I would pay that price.

wow that's amazing. I hope it's streetable and it worx well with our turbo modded cars :) They should make one we can program with a laptop. heh I don't want no rev limiter on my car with stock engine parts though hehe.

Wow if it's streetable and works on an auto, I'd pay 375 for anything over a 15 hp gain.

Gary, Gary, Gary... :)

I'd get it for the rev limit increase alone, screw the tuning I can dot hat with AFC's, ITC,s AIC,s GCC's and all at that other abbreviated stuff. I cant count the number of times I ran smack into the rev limiter at WOT turbo and not turbo, all I need is about 500 more rpms. Hell I think they should make a PCM with no mods except rev limiter removal.

Maybe I just drive my car like an old woman, but I've only hit the rev limiter once. It was a nasty little escapade, and I'd rather not do it again.

Only once? Gee, I must be mean to my car but I consistantly bounce off the damn thing at least once a day. It's just the revs climb so much quicker with the manual than the auto (not that I had to shift in the auto). I think some times I'm just brain dead and forget the I have to do the shifting now. This is what inhaling laquer fumes for 7 hours 1 weekend and then gas fumes for 5 hours the next gets you. Many dead brain cells and the ability to forget what transmission is in your car.

don't feel bad, I've only hit it once (in my Eclipse) even with 150 drag races under my belt.

Note to self: Pay more attention. I even ran the VR6 into the rev limiter a few times and you know they dont require any revving. With the turbo I would run into it in 1rst gear with every intention of shifting before it got to cut off but at 5000rpm with boost all hell and tires would often break loose faster than I could shift.
