That's strictly looking at the computers from an ET improvement point of
view.
The MP computer raises the rev limiter to about 6300rpm and virtually does
away
(if not completely) with the speed limiter. I'm not clear if the Hypertech
for the Dakota does that.
The Hypertech one would allow me to have functional instrument gauges but
MP is apparently starting to move the one for the '97 318 auto. so that
won't be a problem anymore (currently using the '96 computer).
My guess is that the MP computer might have a little more advanced timing
than the Hypertech one and, with the added load of towing, there would be
a severe pinging problem.
Any other opinions?
