Very interesting and useful topic.
In this case, go for standalone unit instead of piggy back.
Reason:
1. Your cam spec maybe require fuel and ignition mapping tuning that go beyond the piggy back ecu capability to compensate it. (in order to harvest the max capability)
2. Piggy back only alter the signal from your AFM or MAP sensor in order to provide the correct fueling and ignition. It still read the existing mapping on the stock ecu....(google it and you'll know how it work)
Standalone ecu is tuner dependent. It's not about ECU brand but of coz premium ecu provide better capability for tuner to work around.

Another thing, remember to dial you cam after the installation.
Power output is totally different if you dial the cam properly.
for your cam just dial: intake 110 degree, ex: 110 degree
it's easy to dial the cam but you need need the right tools to do it properly.

met you before ... anyway ... thing is ... cam installation in one place and tuning of ECU at another ...
Just wonder if I can still drive after the cam setting but using Standard ECU ...
As of the standalone part ... I understand much more than before ... only now ... gotta check out the offer ... and let mech see my car 1st ...
very useful advise I am getting from this thread
