Best Engine Management System for the money?

Earle Holt · 07-13-2014, 10:59 AM

I need a computer and harness for a '89 Mustang stocker. What's the best one out there for the money? I noticed that F.A.S.T. has a "sportsman" computer that looks intriguing for around $1500?

I also need a harness that is fool-proof for me (wiring is not my strong point). I have a Moroso switch panel that I'm using that it would need to integrate to.

Thanks!
Earle

I have tuned just about all of them. I much prefer the FAST system. My second choice would be the new Holley system.

I really like the Holley HP system. It has a lot more defenition than the other systems that I have had. It also has a pretty awsome "learn mode". The customer service is top notch.

Thanks! Are both of these comparatively priced and is the ease of installation similar?

Earle, the XFI Sportsman system has a lot of bang for the buck! It is a bank to bank system and it will datalog directly to your laptop. If sequential fueling and/or internal datalogging (directly to the ECU) are features you want or need, the XFI 2.050 is the best fit for you. This is the system that most of my Stocker and Super Stock customers use.

Earle,

I'd reccomend the fast sportsman or XFI. I'd be happy to get you a price on both Monday morning. PM me with the specifics of your combo
