Andy F maps Syvecs.
It does cost a little more, but certainly isn't over priced. The nearest thing to it on features is the Motec M800 and that is twice the price again.

I also run 2 in my own cars.

I don't know what your beef with SimTek is and personally don't want to, but try and keep your posts to factually correct info.

About AVCS yes you have truth,can control....,sorry for misleading.
And my view on Simtek is still same,worth extra for GEMS,LINK or SYVECS...
Dealer never told you truth what is wrong with product which selling....
Just quick question Knock correction or Knock control is available out there for Simtek?Probably not,but worth ask....
And i don't have any problem with Simtek and i'm not dealer of any from above mentioned companies...

If everything is ready, i will be going to Knockhill for Scottishscooby RA Motorsport day. £150.00 is a bit steep IMO. Hay ho.
