They don't have much problems with them. Almost always it's a installation mistake, lack of knowledge setting them up and programming them..

They are a good system and so is BS3, but I cannot stand the complications that some of these systems exhibit when making changes vs. the FAST XFI we use in all our stuff. We don't have a lot of time to test our stuff and haven't used a dyno in over 10 years. It is imperative that we know if a change actually helped or hurt. Our only feedback is down the track and those are pretty rare.
I cannot remember the last time we made a change on a FAST that it didn't take and we immediately knew if it helped or hurt. We aren't the brightest guys around so the last thing we need is a bunch of noise in our heads worrying if the computer actually made the change to the ECU. That noise interferes with our driving. I can tell you firsthand for me and I think my dad will agree that we can drive better if we aren't thinking about the car's function.
Everyone has their preferences on ECU manufacturer and how they tune. Even David Page at FAST doesn't agree with the way I tune our stuff, but we run ok.
