FuelTech management systems

Hey guys, (wasn't sure where to post this since it's a bit broad, but I'll post it here since I'm looking into potentially using one of these with my 5th gen).

So a friend of mine who lives in Brazil told me about a Brazilian company, FuelTech, that makes tuning devices for cars. He owns and works on a 1977 Chevy Opala that he often takes to shows, but hasn't had interest in advanced tuning, so he has no hands on experience with any of their stuff, but says they're popular there. The devices look pretty cool and come loaded with a lot of options for tuning - of course they have their scales of options based on how much you pay, though for the most part, compared to some of the more popular options I see used here for tuning, they're quite competitive in pricing.

Anyone have experience using any of their stuff? I'm barely even a tuning novice, and have never tuned a car with extra systems like these, but I've been looking into some potential options for plans down the line.

Here's their most recent management system on their website.

Any thoughts?

You could get the same for far less using what we all have used (tried & true). Looks cool though. I'd say stay safe and just go with what we know.

It's US - unfortunately. It's cool that the FT500 has a Windows 8 sort of digital dash system. I can't afford this system, but hey, it was worth a mention here on the forums.
