I'm not going to argue for Jacob's big advertising campaign. The numbers just
don't add up and people I know who have tried his system said their engines
sputtered and acted like crap for the first few weeks..which is ridiculous
since it should only take 10 or 20 revs. at MOST to map out the curves
ASSUMING Jacob's box actually does any controls at all.

However, potting in this case is a GOOD THING. The big advantage of potting
in this case is that you gain increased shock resistance, potentially
increased thermal conduction, and weatherproofing. A side benefit is that
any other prying eyes who may happen to know what they are doing have a much
more difficult time digging into your corporate secrets.
