Here's what I found with the MS&S. let the flames begin..
If you have some basic or above knowledge and skills, or are willing to learn the basics, MS can do a lot of things for you, at a very attractive cost. If you rely on someone else to do the work, it still is very attractive compared to a commercial EMS.
For track/race applications, you won't get anything more by going commercial, as most of your requirements are at or near WOT anyhow.
As for a streeter or dd, I guess it's a matter of tuning, tuning and more tuning..just like any EMS. My personal view is no EMS is going to give you the reliability, flexibility and plain dependability of an OEM ECU, given the countless hours of R&D that went into it, just by a few hours on the dyno.
And there's tuners..and tuners, just like custom spray painters..you don't know what your going to end up with, till it's done. Is there a diploma in engine tuning?..I'd be asking for one.$$
The best in my book is MoTec, but I'm not about to spend $3K on one. Lets face it, for what you get..a few hundred bucks in parts and hardware, and a lot of user pays R&D, how do you justify it..then there's the tuning $??$$.
A lot of guys really don't need an EMS. Some times the stock ECU with one of the new high quality piggy-backs is a better arrangement.
And sometimes a well setup ROM tune is the go.
But if you want to play the tuning game, MS is as good as any. And who knows, if you get good at it, you can build add-ons that will do everything you could want, because it's flexible. What about a system that opens the door for you, and turns off the headlights LOL.
