I wouldn't throw a standalone at it yet, since you might end up spending the $3000+ dollars for a piece of hardware that doesn't quite replicate whats already in there, and then you might still have the same issues anyway and if you're not looking to tweak it more there's not much point really, anything else that could could be added would be a lot cheaper just to have an add on for. I don't think thats the right way to go about things.

Best to spend some $ finding out whats wrong, the piggyback i don't think will ever be a good solution, but it ought to at least be able to get to the point where it can run things properly at least for testing.


the only worry for me is that i don't wrench on the cars, so if it arrives in vegas with hardware issues, someones going to have to fix it first, if i can't fix it with a laptop, i don't want to do it, though i have plenty of times , but i'm a very expensive mechanic ! .

do i believe that its only making 195RWHP due to the tuning being off, its plausible, but you're making less power than the SC tune thats in the ECU!
