Well on paper it sounds good.

But do you need 6 boost settings ? Do you need to have the ability to use 50psi, do you need boost per gear if it can actually do it ? ( Ive seen other units claim this when they cannot actually do it )

But certainly doesnt sound like bad value at all if it works.

i actually want this one because you can time the boost level so i dont launch on full boost and no one needs 6 boost settings.

i just dont want to waiste my money on anything im eventually going to upgrade later.

but i will tell you how good its works i just ordered it today.

I just upgraded my AMS500 to the AMS1000, granted its more expensive to me it was worth it. Like I stated earlier GFB is good stuff. Easy to use and setup. You'll like it.

Pretty sweet, even if you don't need all the goodies just don't use them, still a really good price.
