Thinking to go Simtek now with antilag and launch control on my classic?

Just wanna know the pros and cons?

Get the cheque book out..................
If you leave everything else on your car alone, it's unlikely you'd get any more power from a Simtek.
The Simtek has a number of advantages over the Apexi, if you were starting from scratch and making a choice. It's available new. It comes with more features. It does away with the MAF sensor. It has charge temp monitoring and correction. It offers map switching on the move. It has a very good boost controller incorporated. It's currently undergoing improvements, including knock correction and closed loop idle control. Compared to other systems, it's inexpensive.
I'd say it would be a decent plan to incorporate one with other modifications, you can certainly sell on your Apexi with no bother.
