Impressive price at $6k but also impressive gains on the supercharged motors. And also the only game in town now that the stock ECUs are locked down. Someone with time and tech knowledge and could make one of the dyi ECUs work, but then what is your time worth.

those cheap ecus have come a long ways in the last few years they run from 150 to 600

Is it for 1 ECU $6k?

$6000 for each ECU is a lot of money. I’d upgrade the motor before I do that and I doubt that you will have a big market for something like that not too many people gonna spend that kind of money.

When I was getting into Fuel injection I went to PRI .. Holley was expensive but resonable. Motec was 6x the price. I didn`tthink it was 6x better . It`s better but not worth the price and lots of Holley how to`s on Youtube and tech help. None of that with GoldTec. You`re on your own.

I think people will not spend this money for barely 50 hp considered but most of those people don’t have that kind of money

I think people will buy it. Plus other mods it can make 600+ on the v8 supercharged platform. When you dropped 500k on your OB cat and you gotta outrun your buddy with identical motors, it’s a drop in the bucket.

If you can afford two to five 500Rs and a transom to attach them to, you can afford a set of ECUs for those 500Rs.
