Without a doubt the newer stuff offers more flexibility..and anyone that has messed around with old stuff compared to new will never go back to the old stuff...but 'more bells and whistles' doesn't equate to whats best. Just because you can run a AEM, doesn't mean the end result is guaranteeing to be better than an Enthalpy or JWT Rom tune. I mean, how many standalone cars out there make less power than some of the good rom cars? Tons. That's not to say that they can't make better power, but unless the tuner is truely capable...well...it's like eating steak with a spoon. I think if anything, a standalone allows the tuner to mask issues with a car at times too...whereas with a rom based setup, usually a 'poor running setup' often has tons of small issues.

I can see where you're coming from. It's alot more than what most people need. I'm not the one doing the tuning though.So i won't have to worry about messing anything up. A guy named Mitch (cant remember his last name for the life of me, only met him once) will be doing it. He tunes for Rhys Millen Racing and multiple other podium standing time attack cars. He's fucking brilliant. What took that dude above us 10+hrs would have taken him half the time using the AEM with a fuel map more than twice the size of Apexis. lol.
I'm just trying to pull every bit of HP i can out of this thing. And I can't do that with the Apexi.
EDIT-Mitch Pederson is his name.,

I always specified to tuners that it's a daily and to get from idle to redline perfect. I can't stand having a funky map outside of WOT.
