Using such an item with its
"basic map" as is would be like running a car with a Superchip thats modem downloaded and burned onto an EPROM.
No real point as it doesnt take into consideration the exact modifications on the car.
The other good stuff with the Unichip is that since it leaves the stock ECU in place it retains the features such as knock detection, cold start/choke control, safe mode etc etc.
The unichip also has things like launch control, full throttle gear changes and driver support for running water injection and progressive nitrous control.
Not bad for the money.

The value and capabilities of the Power FC makes it silly to even considering going down the unichip route.
