Calum ecu is still a stock 16bit ecu. Well 2 chips 8bit+8bit=16bit. This gives you a 16X16 resolution when you tune vs a 32x32 map for fuel and ignition. Price is also a huge factor here too. $350 vs $1600-2100. If you take the time to learn the stock ecu can do some great stuff but not as great as the AEM can. If your looking for 500hp you can do that with stock looking for 600 prob could do it very easily.

The '16bit' is describing the processor, it doesn't have anything to do with the size of your maps. You can have a 4-bit processor using a 32x32 map. You can have a 8-bit processor do 16-bit math.

The limitation of the RT is two part- your pretty much restricted to working how the stock ECU works. So that means running a MAF, using a distributor, etc. You could band-aid around this, but really if those limitations are a problem your better off just getting a stand-alone. The other limitation is the stock ECU has tons of 'features' that aren't documented. Really, even the B13 ECU has about 50 maps, and I only know what about half of them do. I learn something new on a regular basis. A stand-alone is (or at least should be) well documented.
