      Should be an EXCELLENT unit; it's designed by John Meaney, the same guy that basically started the whole aftermarket DFI trend when he made the Accel DFI box years back, and then went on to design the FAST box.



      I like the scaleable tables myself. My FAST has a 16 x 17 table and in some areas I really wish I had more resolution, especially in the idle-2500 rpm range where I'm typically driving around town. This 16 cell table gets especially limiting as you go up in RPM potential as the RPM jumps between cells get pretty big; you only have 16 cells of resolution evenly divided over your entire RPM range. For a 4500 rpm engine this gives good resolution; for an 8500 rpm engine, not so good.

      The BS3 also has extremely fast processing, extremely fast WB02 response, etc, compared to current offerings. Also a lot of features for the price.

      I know a couple people with BS3 boxes (Jody being one of them) but none of those that I know with the boxes have them installed and running yet.

      Finally, a big benefit, self-learning. Punch in your desired A/F ratios on the wideband table and it will automatically tune the VE table. This will save quite a bit of time in developing a good base VE table.

      I bought my FAST in January of '03, but I've only had my car up and running with it for 3 months now and I'm seriously thinking of switching to the BS3. The FAST works great but I would really like more resolution in the VE table, I feel it would allow me to tune it to be even smoother in the "around-town" ranges. Money no object I'd be running a Motec, but the BS3 should prove to be an excellent unit for far less green.
