you can make all the power you want with all stock stuff, no need to ever innovate or use faster processors, EGT, dual WB or tune by cyl, just keep the car stock if that floats your boat, not me.

when you start to increase cyl pressures, run E85, and push the limits, I'd rather have a more advanced engine management system than what GM did back in the 80s

Nothing wrong with it, but it's not up to par with current technology on many levels.

the stock system has been proven to support up to 700 hp and works just fine up to that and beyond.

but there are NO safeguards on par with what the MS3 pro or other systems or advanced individual cyl tuning like aftermarket systems have the ability to do. Integration will be a huge PITA and indeed NOT worth it to most. for normally aspirated, clearly gains would be not worth the squeeze.

Tuning with the stock stuff is not a limiting factor until you get to the limits which are beyond where most have been.

Thanks for your thoughts.
