Stinger Performance P.I.M.P EECIV vs Quarterhorse

I know it is sort of apples to oranges since the quaterhorse is an expansion chip where the PIMP is a entirely new board inside an EECIV case. I was just wondering the advantages of the PIMP as well as is it worth it to upgrade from the Quarterhorse to the PIMP EECIV. http://www.stinger-performance.com/universalparts.html It seems to have worked well for others and just looking to see if anyone here has used one and their thoughts.

Tested Direct Plug & Play Into:
-87-93 2.3 Mustang
-91-93 2.3 Mustang (Dual Plug DIS Ignition)
-87-93 2.3 Mustang
-87-95 5.0 Mustang
-83-86 2.3 Turbo Mustang (SVO, Turbo GT)
-83-88 2.3 Turbo Thunderbird Turbo Coupe
-85-89 2.3 Turbo Merkur XR4Ti
-87-95 2.3 Ranger (TFI & Dual Plug DIS Ignition)
-87-95 Thunderbird Super Coupe

I wish I owned a 1987 and 1988 Super Coupe:rolleyes:
 
I thought the same thing when I saw 87-95 super coupe although one of the links I posted was off of a turbo coupe website maybe someone there has the swap and has tested it.
 
Just another megasquirt product but it's the microsquirt so it's a little more limited than the mega. I wouldn't throw away my EEC-IV with QH for it.
 
It looks like a pretty neat product ... Megasquirt for people who don't want to go crazy buying and soldering parts. (Have you ever browsed the Megasquirt online catalog? They sell a LOT of slightly different components. I don't know what half of that stuff does and I don't want to put in the time to find out!)

Still, for $640? I think I would stick with the QH.
 
I must admit that it is nice to have this option. There are some features that make this a pretty attractive offering. The lack of a base tune file is what kills this deal. We'd need an interested party to come up with a good base tune for the various model years.
 

It's simply that there is nothing compelling about the megasquirt or it's derivatives to make it something to pick over a an eec-iv with the QH chip.

Really the only reason to pick a megasquirt type unit is to be different. To take the less traveled road. Personally I've read tons about the devices over the past 5 years, and they could easily run the SC motor. If not for the QH being available, it would be what I had chosen.
