GPRP Pro is a sophisticated engine control Package centred around calculating and controlling engine torque via throttle opening and ignition control.

Built with race functionality and Paddle Shift Gearbox Control, this Package includes all the key characteristics of MoTeC's GPRP Package, plus Torque Control, Dual Plenum Fuelling and much more.

Cutting edge features that improve engine performance, driver consistency and tuning simplicity are combined to make a Package suitable for the highest levels of professional motorsport.

A GPRP Pro ECU fully integrates with other MoTeC products and provides pre-defined CAN messaging for current Displays, Loggers, E888, Video Capture Systems, GPS, ADRs, BR2, PDMs, SLMs and Keypads.
