19920, Programable Computers - Cost vs Benefits
Posted by Joshua97478, Apr-11-02 04:50 AM
Anyone out there have a programmable computer or standalone engine management? I know that they are quite expensive,(around $1000+), but in terms of usefulness, tunability and engine management, are they really worth the money? I'm planning to get one, would like to get some second opinions. Thanks, as always you guys(and gals), rock!

Depends how far along you are in mods. Eventually I will have one, but it is one of my last steps. Once you have everything build strong and the stock ECu can't adjust for it. It's time for a standalone. I know for me it's a ways away. If you get to the end of a high compression NA rebuild or a high end big injector, build internal turbo set up, I say it's time for a stand alone. Before that, the money could probably be spend better elsewhere
