I think you are both right.

Remember, the chip is only processing two signals on the diesel. You don't need much speed here. Sample at 400 times a second each which is slow by processing speed comparisons, but plenty fast for two inputs - even though the inputs are continuous voltage (probably 5v).

However, if you are talking about the ECU that blends all this incoming data, you need as big of a processor as possible - speed is very important.

I doubt any of us could tell a difference in processor speed with a bolt-on chip.
