Does it have some neat features? Absolutely, i.e. E85/Flex Fuel capability, traction control (although most say the MSD 7 one works better), self learning etc.

But it only has 2 transient fueling tables, most other systems have 4 or 5, very important for the ultimate in drivability. No secondary MAP sensor and the individual cylinder trim for fuel and spark is an all or nothing calibration. In other words, you can't tailor the individual spark and fuel by rpm and/or load so it's useless in most applications. Plus the self learning can cause problems, and that only saves the tuner an hour or so anyway.

Just remember one thing. Just because something is advertised the most doesn't automatically mean it will be the best.

In your experience, does anyone offer a EFI package that has:
1. Tunable fuel curve throughout the rpm range
2. Tunable ignition curve throughout the rpm range
3. Automatically adjusts for load
4. Ignition & fuel tuning for individual cylinders
5. Allows easy transition between fuel types

Thanks for sharing.
