Default Motec Engine Management

Anyone use the Motec Engine Management controllers? Was thinking about replacing my ECU with one to get rid alot of the wiring mess. Anyone have any comments on how well they work, and how easy to program, etc?

Dumb question, why do you want to do that?

Its a track car so it has alot of wiring thats not needed. Thats extra weight. Also with all the stuff wired in and modified the wiring is a real mess.

The stock ecm & pcm can do what you need it to do! Why would you go threw that nonsense anyways? All those fuel managements system are the BIGGEST PITA!

I would call KTec or LG since they are the guys that build winning ALMS and SCCA winning engines and see what they recommend.
