I've always wondered about driving manners with the aftermarket ECUs.... can a smooth responsive set up across the range be readily achieved or is part of the deal accepting off idle glitches and lumpy idles as a trade off for mid and top end response etc?

This is top of my wish list! I put an MBE igintion only ECU in my Westfield to replace the dizzy set up on a vauxhal XE 16v (I had carbs and didn't want to go down the injection route).
With the ECU, the tickover was smooth as you like as opposed to lumpy before, it was more responsive, deffo quicker and I knew that the advance was perfect all the way through the range instead of a seires of compromises. In this day and age, a dizzy with bob weights in it is bleedin' stoneage! I have spoken to Dave Walker (Emerald) and he is quite familiar with RV8s, being able to supply a reasonable base map to get you going. The existing loom can be used, you just need to make an adapter to mate the two differing plugs and sockets and supply a crank trigger wheel - and they're not big bucks. I have found out that e'd be better off using 2 x ford 4 cylinder coil packs as they are infinately more reliable than the Ranger Rover GEMS ones (and a whole lot cheaper). If I can scrape together the pennies over the next few months, this will be my next mod, without a doubt. It absolutley transformed the Westy and you know you can tweak it if you get a wilder cam etc. And as a last Brucie bonus, you get to sack the AFM which is so very restrictive!
