    Just to clarify what this person meant, we need to define the verbage.

    FMU (Fuel Management Unit) - Piggyback computer.
    ECU (Engine Control Unit) - Stand Alone computer.

    If this is the case, all you need is the FMU. If you want full control and added features, then a Stand Alone is what you need. It, howeve, costs way more than a piggyback and requires professional tuning.

    I think he means a rising rate fuel pressure regulator. Often referd to as FMU's in kits that use that method for fuel enrichment.

    i talked to a guy who owns a performance shop in fountain valley, CA. called HB speed real nice place, he said the AEM F/IC is the best way to go and the safest for the tc, he never actually worked on one but he said it looks like it would be fun.
