Sorry Brian but I take exception to the the POS Edelbrock controller judgement. I have the POS in my Cobra and it does what I need it to do. That controller sits on my center tunnel and it provides much information while driving my Cobra. I can glance down and confirm what the gauges are
telling me. It's nice to have a cross reference. The Controller is very simple to use when tuning the engine . It has Closed and open loop. You can change any perameters
you need on the fly. It uses a global trim or you can do them seperatly. If you prefer a laptop program you can purchase that option. There is a enough versatility to get the job done for the type of application I have. It is far more effeciant than a carburator and gives unbeleivable performance.
The Edelbrock system is easy to install and easy to learn. It does what it is supposed to do. It wasn't meant to be the be all end all ECU package. It fills its nitch. All these other systems are probably great and they will most likely run anything you attach it to. I think most guys on this forum just want a good dependable system that doesn't cost a fortune. I don't see that many GT40s with need of a system with a bunch of bells and whistles that they will never use.
I don't know anything about training wheels or glow in the dark grips but I do know I'm happy with a time of 11:91 at 124 MPH in the 1/4 mile. That's with a small block. I also have a six speed tranny and I get 21 MPG on the highway. I love having that cake and eatin' too.
It simply goes back to what you and others have stated.....Make sure you know what your needs are first then go looking for the best options that fit your needs and your price.
Just remember guys, anyone that's a dealer for these units wants you to buy his product. So it's up to you to find a way to sort out all the hype and find what works.
So far every single representitive I have talked to has sung the praises of his product. It's just the way of the sales world. It's up to the consumer to wade through the information to get what he wants. Even still, I do like it when vendors come on this board. We learn from their words of experience and it makes us a more educated consumer.
Thanks again Brian, but next time, please leave my Edelbrock POS out of it, OK.
