Are we talking about daily/street driven vehicles or higher-end race
vehicles? There IS a huge difference Bob. Budget is also an option
that gets thrown into the mix. Hmmmm...most of the base kits from
Paxton, Vortech, Powerdyne, Kenne Bell...all use FMU's for the street
driven vehicles and some offer "tuner" options with higher end fuel
management (Paxton "PaxtaMap" and the ATI kit are two examples).

Work well in what?
Find me one nationally recognized and respected tuner who likes FMUs or
"rising rate regulators" as you like to call them. You take your 5L
Mustang to be tweaked by one of the better tuners(much deeper forced
induction knowledge base) and they'll tell you to lose it before they
even touch your stuff.
Reason they suck is they are inconsistent and the computer is constantly
having to hit a moving target with respect to fuel pressure. Used only
by those without any better tools.

Ok, so how about a Boost Proportional Regulator for better fuel
control.......hehehehe!

This is what's going to replace the FMU I'm currently running, it's much
better design and easily adjusts to achieve the fuel curve I need.
