    MS3. The MS3 unit is much faster and would be ideal.

    And if you want an even better unit the MS3x that Brainiack builds on MT.net(that is on my car) is pretty much top tier besides Reverants MS3 enhanced.

    If you want sequential fuel/spark/vics/ tons of optional inputs, dual maf, bluetooth, etc etc you'd want to go those two routes. A pretty penny, yes, worth it? Of course.

    Check out the Megasquirt section on Miataturbo and you'll get any answer you could ever ask(just search first, MT.net isn't kind to stupidity((not implying anything by that fyi)).

    That said, not all 'enhanced' MS builds apply to all models. I've a Reverant-built MS2 enhanced for my NB1, but he said he'll not be offering NB1 MS3s.

    Do you have any price examples for the Reverants MS3 enhanced and Brainiack MS3x? Also what is your 2 cents about paying $659 for the MegaSquirt-III EMS System with MS3X Expansion V3.57 - Assembled from DiyAutoTune?

    Anything MS3 based will do well. I've got a Reverant built Basic MS3 that I'm dying to install on my NA6 with BP4W swap and ITBs.

    F-con Might be locked.. I think HKS only allowed certain companies the ability to tune their stuff..

    MSPNP 2 might be for you.

    I talked to hks today they suggest making a 6 hour trip to a shop in GA to get it tuned vs getting it replaced with megasquirt and tuned locally

    Of course they did! They're interested in sending work to their authorized network of tuners and would never encourage you to pursue a competitor's product. Now you have to ask yourself if you want to trust this HKS guy 6 hours away and the associated expense of going there and paying him to tune your car or if you want to venture down the long road to Megasquirt self-sufficiency. There is risk/reward to both.
