So if plans are to spend the ECU savings on an ignition, you may want to re-consider.

Just a thought. Obviously they all work well, but the points above were things I never thought about, so just passing it along

My thoughts on the clearance issue:

I had a half bridge engine I ran back in the day witha T04-R. I blew it up and when we tore it down I found the front rotor had ALL of its corner seals on the gear side of the rotor jammed in place. There were scrape marks (still have the rotor if someone wants pics) along the tips of the rotor. I didnot build this engine so I can't comment on the care that was taken with regards to setting proper clearance in the first place (basically whether the housing was undersized for the rotor or not) but I can absolutely tell you my rotors contacted the irons at the tips, and the engine was NEVER over reved. In fact it never even saw stock redline.

I'm no expert though

Well again, im going off what my tuner feels like he is more comfortable with..He knows both softwares and has tuned more haltech cars then TEC cars.

As far as the ignition goes I plan on running the 034 motorsport coils with the built in TTL drivers.

I figure this should be plenty good enough for my NA application. im not happy with the setup I will go the Electromotive setup.
