the smaller one tops out and cant shift the amount of air for anything more than around 280-300hp. the largeer one can flow upto around 375-400, iirc.

I believe there is another option now which is the secs ecu which does not need all the sensors changing, just a change from maf to map sensor i think

from the looks of that pic the SECS unit differs by the fact you simply unplug your eec1v ecu and plug the SECS unit in its place,it is not a modified ford ecu
