Haltech is the best. Hands down for the money. I have used AEM and I can personally say the software useability is stupid and over done, trys to make you feel like your doing something over complicated and insane. it's just maps. It's like stupid colored maps and aweful schemes to every drop down etc. Haltech and AEM are the only ones I reccomend period but no one on this forum is about to shell out for one or has the balls to run one.

I can't believe your suggesting thata Rom Tune done with some sort of generic saftey map from accross the country is better than a Power FC (which is just like a rom tune) don on a dyno specifically tuned for that car with the tuner in person monitoring the outcomes.


A ROM tune isn't necessarily done across the country. I was more talking about someone spending $100 on some hardware and doing it themselves on a dyno vs. spending a retarded amount of money for all that Power FC crap to do essentially the same thing. Or getting someone local who can tune their ECU.

I guarantee you I can match any result you get out of a Power FC with a ROM tune for a fraction of the cost. The only time a Power FC makes sense is on an S14 setup that is hard to find daughterboards for.

MAP based setups are nice, but there is something to be said for the robustness of a MAF setup.
