Difference between Frankenstein .11 and frankenso

Looking for main differences between the boards. I plan on purchasing and running it on a twin cylinder 2 stroke engine for a snowmobile. Im going from CDI and carb to fuel injected. Stock CDI always fires around 26 degrees, phases are 180 degrees apart so will be firing twice per revolution.
I plan on picking up a 36-1 wheel or should i go with 36-2 wheel? I could adapt either hall or VR, which would be best for my application? i dont plan on riding it any colder than -15 degrees farenheit. Whats the best board, I plan on getting it tuned and only once and a while plugging it in to the laptop and making sure its running good. My assumption is I need 2 drivers for the ignition, and 2 drivers for the 2 fuel injectors.
any help or advice i will be buying either today or tomorrow.

This would sound like pushing the more expensive option, but kits have a pretty low success rate - less then 10% of kits get assembled.
Assembled Frankenstein is not available, assembled Frankenso is in stock @

I decided to go with frankenstein .11 reasons being that its going in an older sled as a test platform, I dont need the bulky 64 pin connector, I have a reflow oven and am very good at soldering. I picked up additional resistors not in the kit, 36-1 toothed wheel to adapt to my flywheel along with throttle bodies, sensors, fuel pump etc, i believe I have everything ready to adapt. I have done a little megasquirt stuff back when it was newer, so this shouldnt be so difficult, and I like the ability to update the firmware whenever it becomes available. Thanks for putting in all this hard work. Im sure i will have some questions along the way, setting up tunerstudio as i have never messed to much with it.

Where are you located by the way? You might be pretty close to our Electrical Engineer.

Im located in central new hampshire. I recieved the kit, looks awesome! Just waiting for some capacitors and resistors to arrive then i can begin assembly. Engine is receiving the throttle bodies right now swapping over from carbs.
