Al Wick has a Soob-Cozy and swears by the stock ECU ... twenty MILLION 
automobiles having gone before him and tested out his ECU ... but he did 
a LOT of research to root out all of those little "undocumented 
features" and tying them off before he flew.  Trouble is IMO that you 
haven't a lot of reliable documentation and it's difficult to be truly 
sure you've got them all neutralized.

I'd have to go with Tracy's unit ... Jim S.
