street cars.... if you cant do it on a honda ecu, a little fields or apex vtec controller, a 60 dollar fpr and a timing gun.. going stand alone will just complicate your lives even more.. " keep it simple and you wont have no problems"

since NA, I'd suggest the Motec or the AEM ... assuming you'll prolly use ITBs eventually, these two systems are fairly easy and gets the job done. Some examples: custom load map breakpoints which can be custome setup for each gear load, things such as shiftlights, two steps limiters, logging of all factory sensors, etc.

I've used the FAST, DFI and Haltech for allmotor, it gets the job done, but AEM is way better for the price and features...
I heard Autronic is good too but no experience with that.

As for the AEM problems, we've all had them as the guys from work out their bugs and come out with better and better versions, i.e. the 1.03 is way better than the .89 and so on.

CARB what is a CARB hahaha lol Bisi... Hey aren't you switching to individual throttle bodies and fuel injection soon????

Tony I know who you are can you guess who I am???

I must admit the earlier systems had some problems (AEM), but now with the V 1.03 the system works great.

You can still use your stock guages with FAST and DFI.

here's a question to all...

if you are building an all motor racecar and had a choice between AEM or FAST which would you chose and why? Perhaps that will narrow it down...plus I'd like to know as I'm already using FAST.
