TEC

[Jim Pearl]

They aren't the absolutely best this is true - however they're at least 
close in the realm of affordability. While they were out of my range they 
certainly didn't cost like some of the others!

Who would you say has the best and why? Motec? (fuzzy on that name) Some of 
the more expensive boxes go with fuel control to each cylinder and do all 
sorts of neat things - great for Indy maybe but my car drives on the street 
(grin). The TEC has been used in some race series and I think it's software 
is nice but the price of admission for box AND software was too much for my 
pocketbook. Had I the cash and fewer emissions concerns I'd have gone with 
them. Currently I have both a sniffer and a visual test to contend with - I 
was worried that the TEC would be obvious enough to fail visual - not so 
with the DFI!

I've been told there have been some problems with the TEC connectors on 
their box - true? As I recall they use screws to hold down the wires? Been 
awhile since I looked at one up close. All in all I'm fairly happy with my 
DFI - I just wish they were continuing to develop software for it (like TEC 
does) and continued the development of the box I've got. I've been told 
that development for both has stopped - their money is going towards the 
piggyback Ford box and the sequential box. Too bad for me and many 
others...

I like doing the harness myself. I run the wires where and how I want. Neat 
or
sloppy. Also it's much easier to troubleshoot and change things with the 
green
connectors they use.

Hope you weren't refering to the TEC  when you refered to the best system
that nobody can afford. The TEC isn't in the same league as some of the 
other
systems out there.
