AEM FIC - some tuners would argue this to be a superior processor to the Greddy Emanage line up. Picked mine up for $260 used, though it was brand new never installed. It developed a bad rep early on due to its earlier software programing designed for AP2's,which was problematic for Ap1's, its since been rectified for Ap1's. I'm going in for tuning this Saturday on my 10 psi CTAC kit. I'll let you know how it goes. My tuner prefers the AEM FIC over the Emanage. Who ever tunes your car and what they recommend is something you should be considering above all else. Your success lies in their hands, you should provide a device that they are confident in tuning.

a $1,000 AEM is cheaper than blowing a motor, don't go cheap on your tuning tool

Yep, besides most of us still have to take emission testing. Piggy backs are still a viable source for reliable engine management. Who you have tuning them is the most important part of the equation.
