Is a standalone system really worth it?

I have the Megasquirt and other than being able to control every single thing that my car can do, I don't see the need for it. Unless you are racing all the time you don't need it. Too much can go wrong. I would stick with what you have.

As for KA's. They are cool in their own way. In my opinion though they feel clunky. They don't feel as smooth as the SR. They are more expensive to build than an SR as well. I would swap to an SR soon as you get the chance.

I'll cosign that sentiment. Its really really really nice in that your car becomes infinitely tunable, but the downside is that it is infinitely tunable. Remember, that a car is as only as good as its tuning. Thus, if you are not prepared to dig into the metal, do research and learn about your vehicle, it may not be for you. You will learn ALOT, but ALOT can go wrong. IF you are brave enough to learn your way through it and repair it, then fine. Do it. If not, keep what you have.

Also, learn from my mistakes. Don't MS your daily!!!!!

It was reliable for me, but too much can go wrong and you will tend to become overly cautious with tuning. You won't make much progress or learn then. DOn't be afraid to break the thing.
