^hence my need for a plain ole chip. I'm smart enough to tune an aftermarket chip but I just don't give a fuck. I'm approximately 100% sure I'll never tune my GN to the Nth degree. Close is good enough for me.I have been thinking about making the slant 6 in my '72 Dodge van fuel injected though. Can't decide between 80's shitbox FI or soldering up a megasquirt....but that's a different story.
Been hearing some less than positive things about the FITech; I'd go with MS as it is expandable, because I am a slow nerd.

Pretty dicey in my experience to be in on the early stuff.MegaSquirt has been under continual development for a long time now and it works. If my son gets a Miata running out of his two...then I was thinking of helping him with a turbo set up....and MS is definitely the way to go there altho there are a couple of other options.---At least that is my opinion

I think that for us "older people" that grew up having to think for ourselves a chip is all we need and adjust from there. Regardless of contrary thinking it's still air and fuel.For the younger people that need to be plugged in and a computer to tell them every move then a stand alone is for them.IMO
How about this Earl for your '72 Hippie love fest slant 6 van?

I have seen 9 second cars with FITech; but there are more 9 second cars running MS.
Earl, I would highly recommend the 6.1 if you are not considering SD2. My only regret of buying the 6.1 is that I didn't go straight to SD2.It does what it says it will do. On my unopened longblock 10.99 and 11.07 passes my fuel pressure was off around 12-15 psi where it should have been with my weak pump. The 6.1 added a ton of fuel and kept the AFR where it needed to be and I got no knock. The wideband tracking works.No trees were harmed in the sending of this message, however, a significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced .
