Hey Gary,

Reprogramming an ECU seems to be the preferred method, I guess theres probably more to it than just being a cleaner install. In my case though, I'd think it would require the ECU and engine with all mods be together and in one place to reprogram.

In my mind, I can tune my piggyback AIC to react to the same inputs the ECU uses (and more) and make the same adjustments as a flashed ECU has. Mine will have the added feature of also using the same variables and controller to calculate an shoot (thanks Aquamist) the necessary cooling (h20/meth).

So I don't know, for me, given flexibility of the piggyback/AIC for A/F, timing and in my case H2O/meth. Monitors the same input, tweaks the same output and then some (both in and out). Plus you have the ability to make a quick change with a new mod ...works for me.

Regards, PK
