i'm building a 410w EFI for my 90 coupe and I am having a hard time deciding which programmer to use. I am debating between:
1. $475 Microsquirt PNP from EFIsource
2. $839 MegaSquirt2 PNP from DIYautotune
3. $945 PiMPxs ms3 PNP from StingerPerformance
The car will be a 500hp NA street cruiser, that might see a small amount of nitrous some day, maybe.
i will be running 93 octane, 410w with a super victor EFI intake, 4150 throttle body and AFR205 renegade heads. Hydraulic lifter. MSD TFI distributor, Crane ignition box. 5 speed Manual Transmission.
--That being said, i think the microsquirt would likely do everything i need it to... ya know... run the motor. It has 12x12 fuel tables, 3 bar MAP, and fan control. People keep telling me ill eventually want more inputs and outputs... but i just dont know what for. This is the most wallet-friendly option.
--The Ms2pnp Megasquirt has all the same stuff as Micro, plus more. More inputs/outputs, 16x16 fuel tables, 4 bar MAP, and air conditioner controls.
--The PiMPxs is only $100 more than the ms2 and it uses ms3 with sequential fueling. I am tempted to go with this option because i assume the car would run better with the newest firmware and going to batch fire doesnt make too much sense to me. Its twice the price as Microsquirt, but it might be worth the investment. I just dont know if its a waste to pay extra for a bunch of features i wouldnt be using, just to get a few i would.
what do you think i should do?
