i've used a hydra on multiple cars in the past (fm miatas) and always loved them. by far the best all-around standalone i've ever owned (comparing to AEM and half dozen megasquirt varieties). if i were to buy another project car, i'd almost definitely use one again if possible.
i say almost definitely because there is one big issue, the reason i wouldn't be interested in using it on my 86. i can just flash my stock ecu, and for all intents and purposes (i'm not a racecar driver) get all of the same benefit for a small fraction of the cost. we're absolutely blessed to have cracked, writeable stock ecus, why on earth would anyone not just do that? all of the extra features listed are things that can be done with the stock ecu.
i'm not arguing there isn't a value proposition here for people on the very edge of the hobby, who actually do this sort of thing competitively and want an advantage, or people who are doing engine swaps, etc. i just can't imagine this being $1000 worth of better than a flashed, stock ecu for the average guy.
