I didn't give all of the info... More torque where it's useful for
towing,
whereas the MP SBEC's peak torque is at a higher rpm, and not too useful
for towing. Secondly, the aggressively advanced timing causes detonation
while towing/under heavy load... Been there, done that...
Once towing is over, MPSBEC goes back in for mo-power... :P
