ECU Comparison

[dodj]

That's an old ECU. I find it amazing that stuff from the 70's still works and yet the new MP stuff lasts for days.

PC boards and power don't mix well. Wires and solid connections are better.

Wow that doesn't make any sense at all.      

99% of everything being made now using any power is solid state PC board.

Are you still in the 70's?

Hi TopCat!
The R/T Garage here! The Rev N Nator inventors/makers. 
FBO has been spreading incorrect information on social media, as well as posting incorrect information on his website.
Legalities had them remove the incorrect information.

We are nothing like the original boxes...although, we are flattered that you think so, as our goal was to keep our box looking factory correct appearing!
We are DIGITAL. Not another plug n' play box, like it. Our box converts analog to digital and has many other great functions. But, most importantly the safest rev limiting protection available.
Check our main home page for all the 'correct' information about our rev limiting protection and how our box works, at the rt garage com

We continue to update and keep our box quality number one and most current dependable high tech electronics.
Any questions, let us know...always happy to help.
Nice to get you more familiar with our box

Will be great to connect here with others, with the same passion and love for Cudas!!

I have had a Rev N Nator for 5 years with 0 problems.

No, they are not. Pc boards are not capable of any significant power at all. They are good at signals, but not power.
For power, you need wires and good old crimp type connections.
I do it for living...pc boards do not handle power, they handle signals.. ...wires handle power. Regardless of the decade.....

6-12 V doesn't sound like much power going thru a ECU.

Voltage is only half of the equation.

Welcome to the site form Panama @rtgarage01
Thanks for the info on the Rev-N-Ator 

[jordan]

I have a Rev-n-ator in my Cuda.  I had a little issue years ago from their first gen box (#18).  I got it all sorted out with a new box, coil, and ballast.  I have had no issues with mine since.  The R/T Garage is a nice company that went out of their way to help me out and get me fixed up with out a hassle.  Quality people and quality product.  I love the rev limiter just in case the tires spin up a little too fast.  J

[Chryco Psycho]

Good to deal with honest people 

[tman]

Love my Rev n Nator too.  I did get their coil pkg and separately got the Firecore distributor.  Made a huge difference for me.  Had it for 3 yrs now, trouble free.  Thanks RTGarage.

[Cuda Cody]

Want to add that I use the Rev-N-Nator on more than 1 car and it's been really reliable.  Love the RPM limiter!    As great as their ECU box is their customer service is 10,000 times better!  I would put the customer service I get from Rev-N-Nator (RT Garage) up there as one of the best in the industry.  Top notch quality people.

Hi. Do you mind sharing what problem you have with the first gen? I too have the first gen box and I had to add a switch to bypass the electric choke whe cranking in order to start. Once it is running, I can turn on the electric choke. I think it has to do with the voltage and I believe the second gen has lower voltage capability. Other than that, the box works great. Engine speed stable, smooth and responsive when I first got it.

I had some voltage drop on startup that would shut off the ignition with the first gen.  I ended up putting a relay to it and changing the battery cable from the trunk to the starter to help with the voltage drop.  With the updated and newer ignition, I kept the relay to it even though it tolerates the voltage drop better.  I had other issues with it that was eventually fixed by moving my coil on my BB 6bbl to the fender apron.  R/T garage did me good the whole way through the issue.  Great company to work with. The Rev-n-Nator looks and works great too. I have not had an issue since I figured it out mid last summer.
