Cheaply priced too, I've found a few new ones for $350.

Hello Joe,

I'd heard of them but wasn't aware of the Fic product. Has nice documentation and thats sort of rare. That and If it has a good software, is half the game or more. It's really helpful if theres documentation specific for your car. It takes awhile for the new kids on the block to build up a data base for the zillions of cars.

Compared to my SMT6, or a SMT7 or a Unichip or a Split Second or dozens of others, being new, It probably has more mapping cells and a more robust processor. But, I'm not really sure you need that much nuance more cells or a speedier processor affords. The calculations these thing have to process is pretty rudimentary and output speeds are pretty slow 300 or 400 hz is about max. Nothing compare to an ipod.

Most of these things, including above listed, do all the same; timing and injector control with 3d maps... and then some and some are pre-setup for a Box baseline to some degree.

But worth looking into if your shopping for a “new” box, the price is right.

Regards, Peter
