    i have a haltech e8 on my racecar and i find it to be reasonably good, but it gets a bit of signal interference at idle with the factory reluctor type sensors. what sort of power does your motor make?

    If your in New Zealand get a Link G4 they are a awesome ECU and you have the knowledge that you have great support in Christchurch.
