Haltech all the way!!!! In my eyes there is no other choice for the FC. And if you want one, I can get the E6X flying lead kit for $1200 shipped to your door all day long. Just PM me for details.

Be careful how you use the word "best".
"Best" is typically what you can't afford.
"Best" in your case is probably the most support you can get for a certain brand, hopefully someone locally.

also alot of people have had problems with the e6x and it needed to be shipped back to AUS to be fixed. I have a e6x and we are running out of things to troubleshoot so mine might be on a plane back their. So I do not suggest anyone take this chance with the e6x model.

I have only heard of the E11v1's having problems. I know several people running the E6X already. I'm just waiting for an engine build up so I can start using mine. Last I heard, all of the new E6X's were rock solid. If you know something I don't PLEASE let me know so that I can send my ECU to Haltech before I bother installing it. Thanks in advance.
CosmoTT, get my phone number from Ben and give me a call. I'll hook you up with a Haltech if you want one. And to answer your question, the E6K was the predecessor to the E6X. I was looking for an E6K and couldn't find a new one, only a used one.

are there any websites, or posts will a Comparison/ "shoot out" kinda thing for Stand Alones..
Haltec+Motec+Microtech+AEM+Wold3d 4+Power FC etc
it would be nice to see the pro's and cons of each..
I'm really torn on what to get in the Future.. I'm currently running Rtek 1.7 but I don't think it'lll be much use when i "outgrow" the stock turbine...
i live in small area with not much demand for "tuners" or "tuning" so there will be no local support for me.. Hell our first Dyno opened a few days ago....so I'll be doin all "tuning" on my own... so goin with "whatever brand ur tuner reccomends" suggestion is out the Window for me...

This is the clincher for me.
A fuel management system is useless without proper tuning. Since here in the Tampa bay area there is excellent Microtech support, that is what I am gonna use when my turbo motor is complete.

firmware upgrades are free (flash the BIOS perhaps?)
or is it a luck of the draw kinda thing? u can get shafted on a old model from their inventory and thats it?

this is making me want to buy a standalone but there are absolutely no tuners in my town and none for about 2.5 hours (houston). Would I need a tuner to just get the thing running or could I do that on my own and drive it to houston to get it tuned correctly?

Sorry oh great one, lol. I figured someone wouldn't mind just posting a link real quickly, no biggy. If I were starting a new thread about it I would have searched before starting a thread but since we where on the subject I figured I would ask that simple question. I guess you are no longer able to ask a question pertaining to the topic???
edit but thanks for the link

me....im going to go with pfc with datalogic and a lm-1 wideband sensor when i get enough money for it. yea...its going to cost alot, but its what i want. i dont feel like putting up with all the wires and stuff thats part of the haltec equipment. also, i just feel that the pfc is more advanced and "newer" than the haltec. beats me....thats how im going to do it.
