I feel you are totally WRONG. The DSMLink does what 99percent of DSM tuners need. The ability to log almost everything, change the fuel and timing, yet still retain the factory ECU driveability. As for knock... knock is knock is knock is knock. It doesn't matter if you have a Haltech, a DSMLink, or the stock ECU with a SAFC. You *don't want knock* it's BAD. You deal with it the same way no matter what you have. A stand-alone isn't going to give you many more tools over the DSMLink compared to the hell you will go through setting it up.

As for you personally, if you can't get figure out the DSMLink, then I'm afraid you have no chance at *all* of working with a stand-alone. You're speaking rice-boy talk.

so your going to tell me that every hard core racer tunes for zero knock?? your WRONG!.. most racers tune for the least amount of knock they can but set the car at a base air/fuel and then play with the timing. With a haltech or EMS the timing does not get automatically pulled by the ECU for every little count of knock it see's, thats the problem with the factory ECU, If you have the slightest hint of knock the ECU will not allow the car to adance timing and make more power and sometimes to make more power you have to do it while knocking.. dont believe me, ask around..

a little knock is a good thing i tune to keep it under about 5-6 counts.
