It depends what you mean by better. Generally, the piggybacks are faster & easier to tune. The standalones generally require a much more extensive tuning effort, and are more expensive, but they can give you fine control over absolutely every aspect of how the engine works. Warning: If you've never tuned a car before, you probably shouldn't use either one yourself - improper use of either one can quickly lead to very serious engine damage. Again, it's REALLY tough talking in general here - without knowing exactly what you mean by "better". Better at what horsepower level? Better=easier? Better=slightly more horsepower (even if that slight horsepower advantage costs hundreds or thousands of $ more)? Better on the track? Better for daily driving? All of these are EXTREMELY relevant questions, and need to be answered before a definitive answer can be provided.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
