I'm happy with my setup , I made good power, with a reliable setup using quality brand name trusted components, after all, how much does it cost to do a job twice or repair a blown engine....or the cost of towing it 2500km's home when it all craps itself out in the middle of nowhere and the nearest shop hasn't even heard of the XYZ parts you used - no more comments from me on this topic as I have nothing to prove[/quote]
My engine isnt blown and when it does (they all do) it will be 8psi on [shizzle]ty stock rods in a KL that does it not the ecu. I will pull my ping free pistons out myself as proof the tune was perfect
. You are assuming that my "XYZ" part will fail. 6 months and no problems yet, I dont expect any for the normal life of the car and if there is I will eat my words.
I bet you could have made the same power you made just as reliable with a MS. Probably could have done the same with a Microtech or a Haltech as well.
It is a cheap car and with cheap owners, and if these new owners want to modify and they here they need to spend $2k on a ECU and tuning it can be discouraging and not happen at all. Why shouldnt they be informed of the option and benefits of a cheaper system that can do what the big brands can just as easily. You Cam and Rod have done it properly and have gone further then other mx6 owners have. But Fred(as a FE3 owner
), Mr.Mx6, Contempo and myself are doing fine using the MS system. Two different options, one is just more affordable then the other.
If a 200% product only performs 10% better, I wouldnt waste my money there when that extra $3000 could be better spent on a quality Turbo and fuel setup that will give me a 300% return powerwise. Money does have a limit for everyone, why wouldnt you want your dollar to go further.
I chose MS because it was a well proven realible option and honestly mainly because of the price. Fred went his MS2 because it was the best system to suit his needs.
