yeah, i am thinking i am just gonna go with the hydra240. i am very familiar with castle products and i trust them completely. they gave me 4 new MMMs when my v2's kept failing. i love the easy programming and love the MMM now. it just seems this will be the easiest route and still offer plenty of performance. the site says the hydra240HV is capable of pushing 16hp. wow!
so i got the truck today and have started modding. please check out my other thread. perhaps you guys can answer some more questions for me.
