Any intelligent reply will require more details on your set-up.

Does either support the C5 drive-by-wire setup?

Check that first.

C5s are drive-by-wire.

See which system supports that.

What do you mean about the drive-by-wire?

The throttle is driven by drive-by-wire, not by a cable that goes directly to the gas pedal.

Just go and contact those two places, and see which one even works for your setup.

Cartek supposedly has converted a car or two, contact them.

You need to be a little more proactive in your research.

As far as I know, neither supports drive by wire. I converted my C5 and plan to run the BS3. Its not that hard to convert, I used all F-body parts to do it.
