can YOU?

some people can map certain aspects of it, depending on their knowledge and experience.

richm exactly, but that takes time and costs money. i don't think that £70 is unfair for that, does anyone?

whether or not it should be a standard feature is arguable. some people like to make small changes at a time, so might like to just plug and play an ecu into their existing distributor system and get it running.

compare the price of that mod (that can also be done to a std L8) with the boards that stu sells and it looks like good value.

_Ben_ i agree about how the pricing appears, but i don't know the full costs involved in the support of this product from SCS. maybe the level of support that is thought would be necessary has been overestimated? maybe it could be released at a lower price in the beginning to see how things go, and if it becomes obvious that a lot of support is necessary (i don't believe so as it is basically a plug & play product with very simple and intuitive software) then the price would have to reflect this or support be paid for by a premium rate phone line or something?
