megasquirt, and uberdata. I Uberdata on the civic and megasquirt on the RX7. Uberdata is cheap, and I like playing with new things and scripts. Megasquirt, because you can put it on anything ^

I really like how everyone explained why too...

Uberdata for me:
Free
tune all you want on the street
Learn more about your car
= to hondata in performance

Not as easy to setup and make it work
Some tuners won't use it

Anyone is free to add

Autronic is my favorite. Why? Because it not only satisfies but excels in what I believe to be the 3 biggest concerns when it comes to choosing a system:

1. Reliability
2. Support
3. Price

And in that order too. IMO, nothing else comes close.

On the accord, i use Uberdata because it was cheaper than any other option at the time while still being reliable and because it forced me to learn more about EFI and tuning...which is always a good thing

On the weekend car, i will be using an autronic because it will be a fairly powerful setup and i want a reliable, flexible ECU which is easy to use and has excellent support. Oh and the price is pretty damn good as well for what it is. I also think nothing else comes close to it.

This summer Ill be running TurboEdit, Uberdata and Crome...why, because I can and I like fiddling with DIY stuff.

I'd love to try out Hondata, Neptune, AEM, etc...but you just cant try them out without drying out your wallet.

(+) - uses stock computer, simple wiring, on the fly changes, nice guage (depends on brand)

(-) - advances timing severly

I use the AEM EMS. it was plug and play. IMO is the best bang for the buck. with the AEM EMS I have allot of options and I can tune the car myself. I didnt want to have to put up with the hassle of burning chips everytime I wanted to make a change. plus I got a really good deal on it. I've been using it for 2 years now and I love it. I've never had major problems with the system. Also if I'm having a problem with my cal I can just email it to someone that can help.

AEM EMS. Like stated, plug and play. Although you do have to tune it and know quite a bit. It will take care of all my adjustments and needs in one system. tune a nd forget about it.

Just got an AEM EMS...It was worth saving the money. Fully tuneable from the drivers seat. Its nice to be able to pull over, make an adjustment that hits the computer immediatly and keep on driving. Plus Multiple setups are nice. I've experimented with a bunch of settings on my B16 before the new motor goes in and its nice to be able to reload maps in seconds if I screw one up. AEM EMS

Which is also done in uber now, with the upload button...

I can't wait to get an AEM though, I am tired of looking at everyone elses, I want to play with one on my own car.
