ems helppppp pleaseee
!). They all have their problems/limitations as well as advantages.Utec is crap. And actually HKS Fcon is too.

Edit:
I'm sorry for the Utec vs Reflash... For the OP, it's definitely a standalone especially he's looking for more than 600whp. Do you really want a reflash at that stage that doesn’t offer any protection?

For the record, an F-CON is not crap. It lacks certain features other EMSs have, most importantly in my mind traction control, but is a well proven unit. It also includes some features that the Haltech does not have, as confirmed by RCDash. Moreover, at least one person in a recent thread switched to the F-CON after having owned the Haltech, and indicated that it worked much better for him. Still, if you buy an external traction control unit, the costs can really start to add up. This may make going with the F-CON pricey, but does not make it crap.

Just a little correction, the resolution is 10x35 or 11 column if you want to add the 0% column but that is for the ECU control. You really just have 10 columns for your load site. At 10psi you get 1 psi per interval and if you want 20 psi then that is 2psi per interval. You are right that the limiting factor is the resolution and IMO if you want to run 16psi+ then Utec won’t give you the resolution to really fine tune your car. Also the injector size limitation. You can always do a reflash to do the injector scaling. Even ttg35fort uses a reflash for little thing with his Fcon so I guess it's not taboo to combine reflash with Utec.. If you combine both then you can try the reflash to control everything below 5psi (because of the limiting factor of the stock MAF) and have Utec control anything above that. Now this will give you more resolution while taking advantage of the reflash capability to control idle and injector scaling... just my .02. The again, just add a little bit more and you can get a Haltech.. lol
It also smooths out the open->close loop hiccup since I'm not switching to close loop single time I get into boost (only higher boost).
Also put the same map in all 3 slots so the stock ECU can't mess with timing and other **** like it always wants to.

That is exactly what I do...open loop at 4.5psi.
