Which computer system?

[DOFOXHC]

Ok not trying to start a war here....just looking for some opinions from people who have aftermarket ECUs in their stangs. Whichs ones get a thumbs up and why? My 347 is finally going in(hopefully this weekend) and was told I should get a ECU to get it dialed in well. Any good shops in Oregon for tuning?

Thanks!

What part of Oregon are you at?

In Bend, there is MDR Autosports. They use a load bearing dyno that is great for tuning.

Do you need a standalone ECU or just a chip? It depends on your application. I am running a Tweecer with over 550RWHP.

Im outside of Albany. N/A I should be around 425...plus N20. At what point do you have to step up to a stand alone? Do they make a chip with a switch like for N/A program and a N20 program?

Stand alone systems are nice but You dont NEED an aftermarket ecu at that hp level. You could do a sct 4 bank switch chip and have a pump gas program, race gas program and nitrous program. If you decide you do want to go stand alone the first thing to do is find a local tuner that can tune your car and find out what they prefer. I like the Accel gen 7. They also have a budget system out called the thruster that has almost all the features of the gen 7 including nitrous control for under $1000.00

dont forget megasquirt, my buddy has the system but the car isn't finished, from what i see it's capabilities are nothing short of amazing

Pretty much any of the aftermarket boxes will work about the same, it's the tuner (person behind the keyboard) that makes the difference. If there is a specific feature or group of features of a specific box that you like and the tuner doesn't know how to use it they won't do you any good....

I'll also agree with Jeff that there isn't a real NEED for one at your level, a chip in the stock ECU should do what you need. Probably don't even need a multi bank chip, just an ignition box with a couple timing retard stages and tune the spray the old fashioned way, with the retard and fuel pressure.
