Your choice for a electronic boost controller

I am trying to select a boost controller, but because there are so many different ones available and they have so many different features it has become a daunting task. What is the choice unit and your reasons why? Any feedback would be appreciated.

For a street car the eboost or eboost2 is plenty.

All out Race is Exile or AMS

Exile MSBC-1 has been great for me. extremely easy to setup and easier to change as you go.

I have narrowed it to the e-boost 2, MSBC-1, or the AMS-1000. Any word on the AMS?

The AMS is really really powerful...but might be overkil depending on your setup / goals.

The Eboost2 works great and is in functional package that allows it to fit in a street car quite well.

AMS is a nice unit. Its costly, but worth it. It's been around for 3-4 years and is used by alot of people.

Exile is powerful and very simple. Eboost2 is not user friendly in my eyes......

Damn, for $700 for the exile, i'de just go with the AMS unit for a few bucks more. A friend of mine just put the MSD boost controller in his '98 cobra that has an S400 in it... only "downside" to the msd unit is you can only control/change settings with a laptop...
