Because they're easier to change the fuel curve in for somebody that has the program. For the weekend warrior I don't think they're worth it. For a drag racer looking for every tenth, yes they are. I think some have the misconception they're some magical ecu that will make your motor turn another 500 rpm and it's just not the case.

I agree with Eric... I run them, but an A63 digital box is a good choice.
If your running an svs, make sure you have the correct curve in it.
A svs is a touch quicker, but for a lake motor I don't care for them.
They use a lot more fuel in the mid range. So when cruising it hits the wallet harder.JMO

The 849 box with an A6 is a great box. I like it better than the older 11350 digital box, but they are good too. With some software you can really tune a 849 box in. The pcu isn't bad either in the right hands, but the merc box's have better technology in it.JMO

I know!!!!! I need a rev limiter like 7500. My stuff would last longer!!!!!
Funny years ago I didn't like to spin them over 7500. Then it went 8000, then 8500. Last year my lake motor on the 2002 seen 9200 a few times, and 8800 a lot..... They just wear out to fast when you spin them up that high... you tear up lower units too........
I need a stock 150....... Lmao

Is a stock A8 box on a 280 with 260 electrics any good?
With the right person tunning the an" A" series ecu, you can build a custom fuel curve all the way from top to bottom rpm range of your engine. The A6 has a pertty good curve built in it to start with. There are a few folks such as Russ Bentley in Dallas, Bill Gohr in Illionois, and Dave Bush in Lake Havasu Arz. ,Ron Anderson in Seattle Wa. And others,that have figured out custom curves that can be tweeked for just about any state of modification that you can think of so they will light up quick and pull hard all the way through the entire power band. They wont do that from Merc.
A8 I have never run on a 280. Lets lust say this, It will run, it has plenty of fuel everywhere so it wont get hurt.
If you cannot program find someone who can, the list above is a good start. It is WELL worth it, about the best thing you can do to the motor is have a map for YOUR combo.
