cheapest way to get hemi 3g going?

snapetwo said

I keep sitting on the fence over this, ha.
1. Hotwire i can buy it, its premade, uses factory ECU, don't need to tune it(or as much?)
2. Megasquirt, gotta make it all, lotta work, doesn't use factor ECU, needs tunes which appears to not be so easy for a new guy to the game.

not seeing pros really for this MS3, seems its a lot of work and hacking, to make it work, versus just going to hotwire and buying their product.

Other then cost, but that seems to be minimal too from these posts.
Am I missing anything?

Reasons for MS3x:
If you're a DIY guy
If you want to tune it yourself
If you like saving money by doing it yourself (wiring, tuning, etc)
If you're doing something radical with the hemi (hilborn injection, etc)

Reasons for factory computer:
If you're running a stock motor, or something with very little done
If you don't mind paying a little extra to have a true OEM quality product with knock control and all

The gray area is if you're running a boosted motor. The stock computer tuners have done a very good job with it, but I understand there are still some part throttle boost issues. I'm sure some will refute that- I have no first hand experience, so that's all I can say on the issue.
