034EFI is a very good, proven system.  But at $1650 U.S., it's not
nearly as cheap as Megasquirt...  Still, that's a better price than
pretty much any other aftermarket EFI...

Megasquirt, using the MegasquirtNSpark software can do both fuel and
spark.  The whole sequential vs. batch fueling debate still rages on,
but from what I can see the benefit of sequential (potential for
slightly cleaner emmisions) isn't enough to make me make my decision
based on that alone...   I think UltraMegasquirt will offer sequential
fuel control, whenever the hell that comes out...

The one thing that's bothered me about Megasquirt is their timeline of
upgrades.  I've been following MS for almost two years, and
UltraMegasquirt was "just around the corner" over a year ago!   I've
basically been holding out for UltraMegasquirt, but I'm just going to
bite the bullet and order the present version, and add the MS-II
capability when it's available.  At this rate Ultra should be ready
sometime in 2025...  :)
