Ok getting ready to drop my car off back at the shop to get the sub frames in and 6 point roll bar installed..And the shop asked how the car was running its been done now for to close to a year..I said fine..except for a hot start problem now and then..which we knew what it is...They tuned with a moates QH but he said that i should go with the new MS plug and play way better and thats what he has on his own mustang set-up..So my question is anyone using it here and how do you like it?

Ive been using it for about a year now. It is a great product for the money, im very happy with how my car runs with it. If your car is running good with what it has i dont think you will gain any power or make the car faster. It may be easier to work with, but i dont know that for sure. I have never used a quarterhorse.
 
He was telling me that there is better features with a MS like i wont have to use a MAF anymore...boost control...just things he said is better for my set-up...he said he can fine tune it better also...with the MS...i have one issue that i know can be fixed with the QH i have a hot start problem..because he forgot to shut the pulse width down on start up no biggie i just plant my foot down to shut the injectors off car starts right up..i know that can be fixed with the QH...but i think for me i going MS might be better down the road if i can motors or different set-ups etc,...Im glad you like the MS i hear good things about them...
 
I do like the plug and play megasquirt, but it is kinda limited. Its only batch fired, and i dont think you can get boost control with the plug and play deal. When i bought my box they told me i could add nitrous control to it if i sent the box back and they upgraded it. Well, i called to have the controller put in and they told me it wouldnt be worth putting the nitrous controller on the box, just buy the MS3x setup. I think the MS2 PnP is a good setup, but i feel like ive outgrown it, and i think to really get the features you are looking for you have to build your own box with exactly what you want. I am going with the Holley HP box soon actually. I think the holley stuff is a little more user friendly and i can run full sequential fuel and spark thru that.
