Advice requested for choosing aftermarket EFI system

[Robert Charles Scealy]

I have used MicroTech computers before, they are quite popular over   
here, and I know a fair few other people who have used them and liked 
them. They are a lower end unit, and as such sometimes dont carry the 
features of units like MoTeCs, but for the money did quite a nice job 
(~$550 aus). I am pretty sure they are exported over to the US.
