accel thruster dfi... any good?
What advantage do you get by going obd2? Does it have to do with the obd1 stall wall? Engine wise i am not aware of any benefit. I have been doing my own tuning and some friends cars for a couple years now. My advice with you would be to stay on the stock computer. In your case an aftermarket is not going to be cost effective or net you any gain if the stock one is set up properly. JMO
And your experience with aftermarket computers is....? I would rather have an old DFI GEN 6 than the stock computer.
But what is his need, and how is it close to be cost effective. Its easier to tune but at the same time the stock computer isn't that hard either. My point being its just un needed with his goals and it didn't sound like he has a ton of money to drop.

im not saying its more performance gain just better tuning abilities. Especially where i live, everyone can tune a obd2 car but its like pulling teeth to tune a obd1 car. Just better tuning thats all
my goals are to eventually make the car run single digits, i have money but i cant see spending the extra $1500 more then the thruster computer, thats what im trying to get at. Its not that much more to buy that computer then to salvage mine. And then to play devils advocate, if the stock computer works well into the 10's then the thruster computer will work even better at just a little more money... but not a **** load for a gen7.
I know im answering my own questions but mabey you guys can point out something im missing.

because that would defeat what im trying to do here with my car. My harness was perfectly fine till i started to gut it from all the wires i dont need. Im sure i can send it to Speartech and he can finish it/fix it for $450. I still have like 4 months to figure it out
I know what you're trying to do, but from my understanding you pooched something. My recommendation of getting a new harness, was so you could not make the same mistake again. If you have a wiring diagram of the car, then you shouldn't have any problem removing unnecessary wires.
