thank you very much, umm, how exactly does it work? is it more/less fuel economic? racing only? i can t seem to find any good specific sources on it. im gonna guess that it is horrible for fuel economy, because of the fine tuning it requires. thanks again!

it replaces your stock computer, fuel economy depends on how it is is tuned.

its not for fuel economy its for tuning of a highly modified engine.

It basically breaks engine management into the 3 main fields: Air, Fuel and Ignition. It allows these to be highly tuned and monitored for racing purposes. It eliminates (for the most part) all of the emissions and extra BS that a normal ECU controls.

if the car isnt heavily modified, its a waste of money.
