The tune seems good, but the weather closed in before I could really test it.
This engine is for my '87 Daytona, which I am building a CB 2.5L T2 for. It will see a lot of track days, and hopefully put out 400+ hp. I want to be able to make modifications without needing to spend a lot of time getting the tune correct. One mistake and that $4k wouldn't look so expensive.
I really would like to use the money elsewhere, which is why I need to know if MS is a viable alternative. Pro-M gives you self tuning and OBDII access, but now I see that MS has a self tune feature, so points for MS.
I appreciate the comments, especially "acannell's", when he stated that we are getting opinions, but not necessarily facts. I admit that I have learned so much about MegaSquirt, in the last couple days, to lean me towards it. However, it looks like most of the uses have been for street/strip, not tracks.
Please keep this going, as I am hoping that we will eventually come to a conclusion.
I almost forgot, I also hope to use an ISIS body controller, so that would allow me to gut the entire factory harness. That's another reason to keep the budget lower, as ISIS runs around $1,500.
