Help me pick a new controller

[scottyb]

quite simply there is $65 difference in price between the SR400/200sol and the SR500/400sol. With the SR500 you automatically get the $42 fan kit installed and the 400MZJ solenoid upgrade. That plus 110 more amps peak. It's easy to see the value.

I think 22 was the most common height for that tire.

I have no problem remembering 22" tires its the rim size that I manage to forget...

Aftermarket performance type motors are 8 -12 hp and the 500a controller is required so - if you think an aftermarket motor is in your future because your motor is old or because you know you may want more power...... then get the 500a control now.

And honestly he probably makes the same profit regardless if you buy the 400 or 500amp.

I couldn't agree more, if there is ANY chance that you will want a better motor get the 500 amp setup now and simply turn it down to 400 amps and run it with your stock motor until you are ready for a new one.
