It is a race car, he strictly is building to race and be competitive. You select a pdm based on your electrical need and/or things you want to monitor. Data is what can make you fast on the track. It’s a valuable tool that can gain that extra 2-3 tenths. Simplifying the electrical system, takes weight out the car, dont have to worry about fuses and relays anymore, and the processor of the stand-alone is so much faster. Plus whatever you want to do and monitor can be done, your only limitations is your imagination. Excessive, I don’t quite understand where you’re coming from? To someone who who has no or little background in racing it might seem expensive, but that same person will spend 4K on wheels and tires, 6-10k on forced inductions, and 3k on a wrap job, but complain spending 6-8k on great coils, 3k on a diff, and/or 4K on seat time, tires, etc... . Would you also say him spending $3,100 on the mk60 abs system to prevent ice is a tad bit excessive and the amount of time he is going to have to spend to work out the kinks?
