Commander 950 vs FAST and BS3

[PTAddict]

The BS3 can be configured as fully sequential, with adjustable timing of the injector pulse vs. crank angle (helps with idle quality, if you know what to try). The BS3 has configurable axes for RPM and MAP in the fuel/spark tables - may not sound like a big deal, but especially with bigger cams having the ability to have more cells at the lower RPM/MAP areas can make the difference between OK driveability and really good driveability. Speaking from personal experience. Also, the BS3 has quite sophisticated accel enrichment functions, of some interest if you have big cams or oversize throttle body.

The MS has plenty of capability, but I would never recommend it to the EFI novice unless you're on a tight budget, very technically oriented, and have the patience to spend plenty of time on forums and email figuring out how all the deep-in technical documentation applies to your particular situation. Unlike the Holley, FAST, or BS3 solutions, there's no one place to go when trying to figure out all of the details of install and configuration. If you understand EFI basics well to begin with, MS has by far the most capability per dollar (but not the most ultimate capability).

The Commander 950 seems to be a solid product, with generally positive feedback from the online world, and good informal support (see above). If you're not pushing the boundaries on streetability, it's likely to work as well as almost any other solution.

How does the TEC3 compare with there rest of the pack.

[Speedster]

The TEC3 is a very high end system. It is extremely configurable: sequential, TBI, bank to bank, staged...It also contains 60 (-2) crank trigger teeth which is every 6 degrees compared to something like an MSD which has a magnetic trigger every 90 degrees. It then converts this to signal to angular momentum versus the not as accurate time-based interpolation. For most systems this is probably overkill, but it works. It also has additional controls for boost, four stage retard for nitrous, shift lights, water pumps, fans, torque converters, etc. Quite a bit of goodies. Plus the ignition utilizes multi coil packs. This is based on info I compiled during my due dilligence for EFI systems FWIW.

If you're not using FJO to run your engine , you have nothing.







p.s. FJO is making ALL of the holley commander programs, and nitrous controllers for nx + nos, many many more and hardware based out of Winnipeg Manitoba Canada.

I certainly wouldn't go that far.
