Exactly, you can get a good tune from virtually any ECU ms1 > motec if the guy behind the laptop has half a clue and some fundamental knowledge.

I chose MS2 not on price, not on performance, but because of an uncontrollable desire to do EVERYTHING myself :-) That way when I jump in it and drive it I have an ENORMOUS feeling of satisfaction. As it happens MS2 does kick arse. I will say it because it is true. Craigs system is a very good one from what I have read and seen, and there would be advantages over ms2/etc by using it. I agree with that, but what and where are those advantages and how much do you really care about it? MS has run briggs and straton and it has run 27 litre v12 Rolls Royce engines and everything in between, very few people have been unhappy. It has faults, I can list them all for you right now, but none of them matter if you do the install and tune right. 200hp / litre = ms2 ftw (regardless of price!!). If you want to control every accessory on the car, ms is not for you. most of them, sure, all, possibly not. MS2 has IO limits. MS1 has plenty of IO, but isn't all that accurate (still well good enough though).

You guys have no experience with MS. When you have properly set one up and tuned it. You will be singing a different tune!
