Utec and high hp numbers.
[QUOTE=MRC Motorsports]I will post SEVERAL reasons why I personally would choose a UTEC over the F-CON at your particular power level. But first off, I would like to state that your putting words in my mouth, by stating that I said the "UTEC was better" I never said that, not even close...I asked you why YOU felt the F-CON was SAFER (not SUPERIOR) than the UTEC on YOUR setup.Keep in mind SAFER is not always BETTER...
OK, so that is perfectly clear, here are my reasons for choosing a UTEC for a car with your power goals.
1) Price.....1/3 rd the price of an FCON(could spend the money saved elsewhere, like better head studs,headwork,cams, or something that will help make more power at lower boost levels..)
2) Tunability- The end user or other qualified tuners can re tune the car without the extensive road trips to one of the 11 HKS protuners in the USA.
3)Dealer Support-Currently Turbo XS has over 200 US dealers and tuners, and a fully staffed technical hotline available 5 days a week..
4)On the Fly MAP switching-the availability to have several maps for several different fuel and boost levels and driving conditions, at the touch of a button by the owner/end user.
5)accurate Knock retard- Utilizes factory knock sensors to accurately detect and prevent engine knocking by retarding timing. Also applies a GLOBAL MAP retard when knocking is detected, by pulling timing over the entire MAP for that drive cycle.
6)Data logging- Allows the end user to datalog and monitor all of your engines vitals on a daily basis.
7)Programmable shift light- Add the turbo XS shift light and program it to light up at your preset RPM points.
8)Boost control mapping-The ability to control boost with the precision and accuracy of some $700+ JDM boost controllers. Saves the end user time and money, as well as simplifies the tuning process and MAP selection.
9) Spare Solenoid drivers- Allows you to control spare solenoids to activate water injection,N2O or Meth injection.
10)Free BASE MAPS- available at Turboxs.com FREE AS ALWAYS
11) FREE Software updates-available at Turboxs.com FREE AS ALWAYS
12)2 step launch control and no lift to shift- Features perfected on previous versions of the UTEC for over 7 years already and soon to be added to the 350Z UTEC, once again, for FREE Software updates..
13) Valet mode-Enables the end user to set the car in a non aggressive valet mode for those times when you dont want someone ripping up your car, like a Valet parker..
Excellent write up, makes me more confident in having my utec.

Thanks!
Thanks!
MOTEC is terrific....on par with FCON in terms of its street driven functionality. MOTEC has some very advanced features that are well suited on a true race car. The cost of MOTEC with all options, is what is what puts it out of reach of most....priced at the double the cost of the FCON.
We'd love to try one on a 350Z.Actually, the MOTEC is better in two ways: Throttle by wire control (full control over idle...at last), very sophisticated traction control and launch control, and variable cam phasing control.

These "tech discussions" are just contests of who's a bigger and better sycophant or who is more articulate and capable of incorporating technical jargon buzzwords into his posts.
Why did I take this so seriously? I could have been enjoying conservative boost for almost a year by now...

I was going to say the same thing, but *** ya'll. This is what your girls think about when you're poking them with your pencil dicks. Unlike modding your car you can't buy this chit!

The way that she has described sex with him was this:
"It feels like a wardrobe has fallen on top of you. With a little key still in the door".
