Simon - Jolly Green Monster is the correct choice in my opinion.

I'd say it was worth exploring Solaris and whether the features of that ecu suit you better.

I have only heard good stuff about the Solaris so far as well.
Would be good for alot of users due to the amount of extra functions it has,
Don't think it offers enough of an "upgrade" to me personally to warrant a change from the Simtek.
Solaris is very popular with alot of Supra owners as well.

Any Non Maf based system will take a few turns longer than a maf system. On a maf system as soon as air moves over the filament it'll fire.
On a non maf system it relies upon the map [ Mass air pressure ] sensor to advise that pressure is building, then it'll fire.
Obviously it takes a turn or two longer on a pressure system to build up.
Motec, Gems, Link, Solarus, Autronic etc., are all good systems as far as l know, BUT they are best part of twice the price of Simtek....

Not a lot more then a simtek imo.

Even if it was £400 for mapping (which I doubt) it is still nowhere near double David - I think you need some new batteries for that calculator
