I got a board for my ve ecu about 2years ago, and it has been great. It was pre programed for what I had and did not have to change anything maf,dizzy etc...like the de ecu guys. It was only 130us then $60 to have a local tv/vcr shop soder the board in. It was recomended I get a chip manipulator and burner, to fine tune everything myself, but been happy with just the base tune. Im sure getting that burner and stuff would set me at least 10whp from where im at now, so for another $350, its the next thing on my list. 16bit > 8 bit
