[z287mgte]

i was looking to see which one was the best and couldn't find my answer. I think Maft pro is what most guys use, but what about apexi... and others.. sorry if it is a stupid question just couldn't find the right tread to answer my question.. i found one that was started but never finished.
thanks for all the help..if there is another thread like mine please post it..

"Best" is an ambigous AND subjective term.

It either does the job correctly within your specification or not.

I have been running MAFT pro on my car for 8 months, its a good solid unit and easy to use. Is it the best? Who knows.....

You're not going to get a clear answer on that.

It's subjective and depends on dozens of factors including; Your current mod levels, your power goals, you intentions for the car (road, drag, street, mixed), your skill level, your tuners ability to tune it, your budget, etc...

There are literally hundreds of pages on this topic spread about the site. Your seeming unwillingness to do your own homework on this topic doesn't bode well.

Reading this might be a good place to start:

After that, you may have an understanding as to why nobody is willing or able to answer the question with the information you have provided.

sorry that i upset you.. i am new to the car world and that is why i am going to school for this type of stuff. i did read most of those actually before you have sent them to me.... i tried looking it up but could not find what i was looking for and thats why i asked.. yea i should have put more info.. mybad...i am looking to make a very reliable/well running 300-350hp car....have done a lex/550 upgrade and looking to tune and ect.. i am just looking for some inside advise from the people who know what they are talking about.... last dyno i was at 290hp but i feel like the car has so much more..i have exhaust, intake,boost controller..if any of you had to choose which one of the two would you have to choose..

sorry that i upset you..

It didn't. I'm simply trying to get across what level of information is needed to get good answers to your questions.

mybad...i am looking to make a very reliable/well running 300-350hp car....have done a lex/550 upgrade and looking to tune and ect.. i am just looking for some inside advise from the people who know what they are talking about.... last dyno i was at 290hp but i feel like the car has so much more..i have exhaust, intake,boost controller..if any of you had to choose which one of the two would you have to choose..

Stock turbo? How much boost are you running? There's a limit to how hard you can push the CT-26.

However for those power goals, any piggyback would work. A S-AFC will get you there if you have the right tuner.

Be sure your tuner knows to tune a MKIII ECU against vF - if he doesn't know what that is, find someone else quickly, otherwise you are wasting your money.

Take a look at this post:

It's about tuning with the MAP-ECU, but it applies to all piggybacks, I even mention the S-AFC towards the bottom. Scroll down below the tables and take a look at the section where I talk about tuning to vF.

(P.S. - to be accurate a lot of the text on vF is copypasta from Reg Riemer, not my words, but I've found it all to be 100% true)

So for what you're trying to do, just about any piggyback will get you there with the MKIII. The tuner you select is going to mean a lot more than the device you hire him to tune.

How true.. My local tuner is going to freak out when they see my diy safc :-D hmm anyway, My 5cents is ,go with something that goes on the injectors if you're going for much power (as I'm not)..
