Default Aftermarket ECU

HI Guys

Can anyone recommend an aftermarket ECU and tuner for the 850R.

Ive been looking and want to know which ones are best for control and who would be a good mapper to carry out the tune.

If im going down this route i want move to a newer ECU then the 4.4 and 4.3 which is 25 year old tech.

Neary completed my rebuild but now need a new ECU to take advantage of it

So id rather just get aftermarket ECU and keep away from the 4.3 and 4.4 as they are really old now.

Ive been looking at HellMoose but they are out of stock for the plug and play one with no date when then will be back

I want to get the best performance out of it so Fuel im not bothered about

its got Hybrid KKK24 , RIP D088 which is arriving this week with Intercooler. LSD , Wisco pistons and forged rods and Sache 707 clutch disc with R clutch plate. 750CC injectors 3" exhaust SS, 5 mm Intake Manifold Phenolic spacer NA throttle body matched to Intake, NA Cams set to 4/5 Deg respectively Wide Band sensor for O2 and have pre wiring to go in for coil on plug lifted from the C70. Uprated fuel pump and wiring.

Might have a chat with Tim. could run a 4.4 with coil on plug until Hell Moose gets the new ones in stock.

I'd be going for a full standalone kit, given all the other mods you have on it currently. Finding a premade ECU that will get the best out of that seems unlikely at best.

Link are very easy to wire in, offer excellent customer support during installation, and are simple to tune.
