    I can get the Accel DFI Gen 6 w/ the painless wiring harness with all the gm plugs and sensors with it for $800.00

    Or

    I was going to buy a new PMS system. I would be saving money with the accel kit since I don`t have to buy a mass air sensor.

    just wondering what you guys think i would benefit more from, and how hard is it to tune with the gen 6. I know they say the pms is user friendly.

    Thanks, Eric

    If you are looking into standalone just step up and get a gen7. As it was explained to me the gen 6 is just too dated. If your under such a budget that 1600 is just not an option wait till it is.

    If you are looking at budget systems I think that the Ford EPPC is a great route as it's a "write to" box with real logging and maps. The two PMS's I have tuned had issue with their idle contol with little support from Anderson Ford. Also make note that the EPPC has no PW outputs to run the IAC motor.

    I have a gen6 on my car and it works great. They have been used on motors up to 1000hp with no problems.

    There is nothing wrong with the Gen 6 it's just a dated system. I just finished a Gen 7 install that was picked up used for $800. With many jumping on the BS3 bus there are good deals to be had on both the Gen 7 and the FAST systems.

    OK, well I have two used FAST systems for sale, and a thing to note is that the Gen 6 is no longer being serviced by Accel. If you buy it and it's broke, you are SOL. If you are interested, please let me know and perhaps we could work something out. Thanks!

    Robert 1320, nothing is wrong with either one in a street car. The Gen 6, as mentioned, is totally dated though. You need a pretty old laptop to run the software for it. The Gen 7 is a great system.
