OMG! Check this out!!
AEM mentioning Wesmaster's EMS installation/tuning 'Woes' in an interview! Large download - Video

that guy talks trash about wes at the end, so you better watch the whole thing!

I received a call from AEM about this video. First off, the EMS unit is a very complex unit which most people aren't capable of tuning without experienced trained help. Second, the reference at the end of the video in NOT about wes. AEM flew out a tech to help wes tune his unit.

Please don't take this out of context as I think it has been. Such assumptions can be very damaging to vendors and cause much ado about nothing. AEM is a quality manufacturer and dragging them through the mud based on completely flawed information is of no value to anyone. This kind of baseless banter has hurt many reputable makers, AEM, Muz, etc.

Threads like this DO have a tremedous impact on them so I'd ask that you please be more careful about what you say. The pen is mightier than the sword and in this case and a few others recently the pen is mightier than a bazooka.

"We just had a guy with an S2000, who strapped the car down, he had an AFC in the car, and it wasn't making as much power right away. ... It has to be tuned... ??? 30 horsepower.

Show me a standalone system that you can take, just bolt on a car, turn the key and it runs."


This doesn't sound like a slam at all.

In fact it sounds like a very reasonable and rational comment.

1 star.

Rasputin,

In text, the quote is not bad at all, but when you see the facial expressions of the spokesperson, he is being a smartass.....
