By FarThe Coolest Thing We Saw



The coveted "By-Far-The-Coolest-Thing-We-Saw-At-SEMA" awardgoes to AEM's new programmable Engine Management System. Poor tuning is by far the most common problem, and is ultimately the cause of the majority of catastrophic engin failures. Stand-alone engine management systems are almost always the best answer, but wiring, learning the software, and the daunting task of building your first map keep most people away. EMS's system willl be available in a variety of plug-in-play models that use the stock harness and stock sensors. Base mapswill also be available for all cars with this plug-in feature.If they don't make a plug-in model for your car, the same ECU is available with a generic harness that you can trim to fit.



AEM's system is unbelievably flexible. While most systems require certain kinds of sensors, or can only drive certain kinds of injectors, the AEM system will take any input you want and give any output you specify, 60-tooth crank, four-tooth cam trigger, staged injectors, it all works. We brought a pack of five grumpy, hung-over techno geeks to AEM to find the systems' weak points and came up empty-handed. The only thing it couldn't do was run on Jacquot's new G4 titanium Laptop.

This system will be running at least one of our project cars soon.
