all they can do is replace everything they can to get the car to fire. A backup car isn't an option.

Indycar & F1 have used the same Spec McLaren ECU for years and have never had any problems. It's no different then anything else, you follow the directions and you'll be fine but if you try to blaze through it without reading the directions you're screwed. I'm sure with all the Offroad stuff being EFI forever now that RGM has people on-staff that are experts are reading/programing that stuff.
