Default ECU suggestions

guys i've got a set of CBR 600 throttle bodies waiting to go on my silvertop zetec but cant decide what ECU to go for, i was half and half between OMEX and Emerald, anyone got any suggestions or runs either of these and love/hate them?

As above, that is the single most important question.

The second is what exactly do you need the ecu to do ?

After that, there are dozens of ecu's that will do the job.

i knew that would be the first answer haha, right i havent got a set mapper yet, if i went emerald i would go to dave walker as he's the chap that makes them isnt he? i'd also probably fiddle about with it myself whilst im at the track to try n find my optimum settings as theyll be different on the track than rolling road obviously. at the moment im only planning on running these throttle bodies along with a little shot of nitrous, after this year im going turbo so ill hope to use the same ecu.

Looking on a map, it seems you are fairly close to Emerald. So that would make it a no brainer.

are 600cc bike engine throttle bodies really right for the job? i know they get used a lot but a 600cc bike engine only flows enough air for about 120 - 130 bhp

I've never hear of OFAM tbh with you, yeah I've been looking at emerald for a while as a bloke up the road has a emerald on his kit car and loves it. I can't remember why but I've been told that I was lucky that I got them bodies because they're off of some quite decent bike, the inlet holes are bigger than a mates 1300 bike carbs he had on his vw caddy though so should be alright!
