Anthony Parle Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hi I am looking at a new Link and see that the Extreme is the top of the line but the Thunder seems to have features that are more suited to me. Its for a car that races on trackI have a Subaru flat 6 cylinder and also want to go with individual throttle bodies.Interested in some advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich RDE Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Anthony,The G4+ Thunder seems like it is going to be your choice. Extreme does not offer dual E-throttle control. The Extreme does not have a 3 axis accelerometer. The thunder has many more Aux inputs and outputs to start. It just has all around more of everything! If using on the track and want full control or the decision to expand to more sensors down the road. I recommend the Thunder in your particular situation.Distributed, wasted spark, coil per plug, Boost Control (open or closed loop) , Cam control, 1, 2 or 4 cams, O2 feedback, Pressures, Temperatures,Transmission requirements, Logging requirements Traction etc. These are just some examples of what it does. Lots of amazing features. Cheers,Rich RDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Parle Posted June 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hi Rich,Also forgot to mention that the car has a ppg sequential gearbox as well so I figured the Thunder would be better for that as well.Thanks for the feed back its greatly appricated.

Rich RDE Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Anthony get one a hold of one of the dealers in your area. I am sure they would be willing to work with you and help with some development. I am a true believer in the Link platform and have been starting to R&D jumpers here in the US for all kinds of platforms. Awesome project by the way!!! Very exciting stuff. Good luck.- Rich RDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
