Its come to the time where i need to decide on what ecu to go with. I planned on microtech because it was cheaper, however now im rethinking this. I dont want to skimp when it comes to this. The more i look at microtech the more cons i see with it. Basically what im looking for is diversity. An lt8 or ltx8 cant control a 20b. But can a standard haltek e6k? Im thinking more on the lines of haltek now because you have more control over certain aspects. One day I might want to put in a 20b, and i dont want to change out my whole ecu.



so what is the best choice for me. Learning the software isnt a big deal, and wiring it up isnt a big deal either. I would however like to stay under $1500. What my main concerns are, are diversity, compatability, and control.







i think i need help!

the e6k/e6x will run a 20b but not that well
