Haltech has alot of safety features that make it superior to factory ecu for anything that makes good power. We try to run oil pressure, fuel pressure and air fuel ratio fail safes in all haltech cars we do now. In my daily gsr im going e8mr ecu real soon on a flex sensor and speed density only because im a tight ass.
with the new elite you also have knock control so oil press temp fuel press afr etc all realy good for saftey of the engine. the elite 1500 isn't that much more than the sports now but your still looking at around 2k for the ecu and loom vs what 500ish for the oem ecus
