Engine Management Systems

I was just wondering about what kind of engine management system to use on a GM 3.8L (any year). I was looking into the Haltech E6GMX, and the Accel DFI gen7. Are these good for this application, or which systems are better?

Thanks


P.S. I will be running forced induction on this engine also.

We sell the TEC-3r and it's a great unit, however, I would ask why you want to use one? Use the stock ECM and burn a chip to modify those things that you need done. An aftermarket ECM will run you close to $2000 and the stock one with chip mods (or piggyback ecm) will do all you want.

We tell our customers to consider a "aftermarket ECM" only when they are building a car from scratch (formula race car, etc.). An aftermarket ECM will not get you any HP and any extra functions that it does provide, you don't need.
