I have an 08 tC and I ordered the Brian Crower Stage 2 cams because I plan to boost in the next few months. However, I have realized that I must tune the car even with just the new cams. It seems that could be a bit of a pain in the ___ and I am trying to find the best way to do this. What kind of management have people used for these cams?

Aem ems 4 could do that. I ran that on my last car and was able to tune to up to 600 hp on a 05 ralliart

Thanks. The only thing i don't like is how expensive the ems is and the fact that it is a stand alone. I'd rather have the piggyback. I've seen people using the FIC, i just want to make sure that will suffice.

drobins27

It will. Emanage will do the trick on mild cams but I prefer stand alone cause you got more control and more options opened up to you.

drobins27

Also make sure you upgrade your valve springs and retainers cause you don't want your valves to float with a cam Depending on how aggressive it is.

Emanage Ultimate > AEM F/IC

In all honesty, neither of the piggyback EMSs from experience are going to yield the best results for this app with BC cams. Stand alone is the only animal that is worth it with this VE changing mod.

Financially as of now, the AEM is the most suitable. If I'm not mistaken, you have to input all of the figures over again for a stand alone. They are also quite expensive.

Stand alone is the way to go. I use stand alone on all my cars. I can delete the down stream o2 sensor. And run infinite amount of boost. A and it gives trouble codes like a dlc.

I would either go Emanage Ultimate or Standalone

Anyone know somebody selling an emanage? It's about twice as much as the AEM brand new. And im running out of money.
