Hey guys.

Im lookin for the opinion of the more experianced ca guys.

My swap came chipp tuned to run on a sr20 redtop ecu.
Runs great and no issues but im getting nistune very soon.

My concern is should i just stick with this ecu or locate a ca18 one?

Also what would have been the benefits of running an sr ecu in the first place?

If it's setup for the SR ecu, I'd leave it and run the nistune on that one. I think the idea behind the SR ecu is that more ppl have experience tuning it and tuning software is more familiar to tuners.
