ive been pricing up some chips lately and i took a look on the msd website as my last chip was from there but then looking at the costs with what injectors, clsoed loop and if i add anti lag and launch control im looking at £700 ish just for chip
so is the anti lag and launch control worth having or is it just good for a gimmick, the car wont be used on track but will be used on the strip and it will only be around 360 ish so nothing powerful
i have them both on my autronic sm4 anti lag is a bit of a waste of time on a road car but launch control is very good gets me off the line much faster and i have full boost straight away with limited revs till im moveing and take my finger off the button much better than leaveing a big cloud of smoke and too big black lines!
Anti lag is good for making loads of noise, making people pull funny shapes at the side of the road and drawing attention to yourself just for those factors I'd say get it
Ive never used my anti lag or launch control properly.. but i think its worth every penny just to scare people.. espically at santa pod where you can terrorfie the guys on the starting line up.. big pops and bang!!!
I had lc and als on my Autronic and it was great fun, as Chalie says als is funny and scares the shit out of people so worth it there and lc is great for pulling away in the old traffic light gp ....
We will upgrade any of our chips with the features, in house or via mail order.
Hi Stu
Martin has built my engine and is going to map it for me, it's just i'd like launch control is not possible just to add it to somebody else map?

Afraid not sorry mate.
The problem is Martin will warranty your chip for life and I suspect your engine for a period too, as we would had we built it, but we would both quite rightly void the warranty on each of those items if we found out someone else had been in the ECU changing the chip running it all because if it blows up, who exactly is going to accept the blame?.
For the price of it I'd get aftermarket ECU with all the features, did have it all and it was good fun though, just have to be very careful with the ALS!
