if you got enough money, id suggest a standalone (or as close as they can get) like the HydraEMS or AEM EMS

If you ordered the AEM EMS, this is it. (almost all of it...there is more to the package not pictured)


DO NOT CONFUSE THE AEM EMS WITH THE AEM FIC.

thats true the EMS is a complete engine management system (hence the EMS part ) and you have more control over fuel maps, etc

two completely different beasts with different prices... but I believe that going all the way is much better for later control and tuning.

True 100%!

The FIC allows for fuel. ignition and O2 sensor skewing. Pricing around $400

The EMS is a completely programmable system with fuel, ignition, trims for baro pressure, air intake temp, boost, boost control, traction control, 2 step, rev limit changes and accel/decel fuel just to name a few.....There are tons more options on this unit. This is priced around $2000

I would love the full out stand alone but I just got fork out that much money right now and I think the FIC would be fine to start with! I just want to do it right and have a reliable, streetable car that is fun to drive with as little problems as possible!
