I've dealt with my insurer and made a switch. I'm now free to upgrade my car's ECU.

So, I'm rather impatient and have money NOW to make the upgrade but, I'm thorn about which way to go.

MS1 is obvious no-brainer and opens up the car for more mods (clamp, injector, Meth etc)

Diablo is a wet dream that could most definitely yield more power. IF it ever comes out.

RT Flash, unreleased yet as Diablo, is another wet dream. Part of the team is currently recovering from health issue and have yet to have had info from other team members. :-( Unlike Diablo, this wouldn't give me reconfigurability, but could possibly yield better performance (I mean, they're pro tuners and they know what they're doing whereas with me and Diablo, i'd have to pussy around a lot to get a decent tune I suppose).

So, what's your take on this? I'm interested in everyone's testimonials, including vendors like RT for their flash (sell me something!) and NeedsWings for their Mopar ECU offer (a whole 2$ cheaper than MPx AND they are a supporting vendor!)

MS1 if you can't wait and i'm sure you could get one ordered to your front steps in about 2 weeks.

RT flash will most likely be worth the wait, if you want to wait that long for more power.

My vote is for the MS1 since it is available right now.

Well, technically, the MS1 is not a legal road part (emissions issues) and was told by my insurer that if I were to put that on my car, they wouldn't cover me on the road because the car is not a legal road car, but a race car.

USAA is a joke...You cant even call them an insurance company. They have ridiculously low prices for gov. only. They wouldn't question you if you hit a pack of nuns while driving under the influence.

What are you doing telling your insurance company about what you put on YOUR car?

They inspect vehicles on claims.

Well i say dont do any of those mods for now and just do a map clamp u can do that with a stock computer and get more power out of that for now then u can with a ms1 or anything

mouser

Any vendor/tuner can comment on this?

Dont clamps require additional hardware like widebans, gauges etc?

Seems every mod out there requires MS1 to unlock crapload of restrictions.
