DFI 7 vs. FAST

Which is better if comparing both bank to bank WBO2 setups?
Basically pros vs. cons?
Also, is there any difference between a current FAST b2b WB setup and one sold under the speed-pro name?

Accel has always been great to me, real good tech support when you contact them on the phone and they are quick to make repairs or upgrades to my Gen 7 box.

As far as pro's and con's, I have no idea. I've talked to many dealers for DFI, and All praise the FAST system, a couple have even told me that the ACCEL wasn't worth my money and if it was their car it would def. have FAST. By popular opinion.....go w/ FAST.

There's a new FAST just waiting to be released, some of the early claims are neat. I think there's a thread at Turbobuick.com called XEFI, that has a few snippets about what's coming.

Thanks Bruce, but I was referring to the older system. I'm sure that the new system is great, but I'm sure it'll be waaay overpriced. Probably better for me to remain ignorant about it. I've heard that the current system is great and some claim it's easier to tune than the DFI stuff. I was looking for info to back these sort of claims up.
I actually bought a used one today on ebay so eventually, well see how it goes.
I don't need sequential or individual cyl. adj. at this point...just the bank 2 bank and a wide-band will be plenty, so I bid on it.
Good thing is that if I do ever feel I need those extras, I can send it in for an upgrade.
It does also have the upgrade for single stage nitrous on it. But I doubt I'll use it until I get used to what I have.
