Default PLX or LC-1

OK, trying to decide. Only thing making me hesitant about the LC-1 is all the little bugs people seem to have with the LC-1. Any thoughts here guys. LC-1 is supposedly supored to be better with the lates t firmware update, and it has an advantage in terms of the type of signal it can send out (can't remember the specifics and couldn't find it on their website). Just wondering what peoples thought are. Have you had problems with your LC1 or your SM-AFR??

Thanks guys, ready to dive head first into self tuning.

Andrew

I've had both. The LC-1 was harder to setup and failed after about 6 months. I do like the ability to free air calibrate with the LC-1. The PLX has been in for about a year now. Since day one it has had a couple bugs. Strange blips either full lean or rich... just the gauge. Doesn't log it and occasionally it just freezes for about a minute.

I still vote PLX.

I have a plx unit and like it. I would recommend it. But i do know hat Kbracing carres the innovate line of products and WAS offering free shipping among other things when he became a sponser. I do get the occasional RICH blip on my gauge as well, but no freezes
