i think the most important question is, why do you feel that you could justify using an AEM EMS?

also, i believe the AEM is coming out with an obd0 version, its either that or e-manage, but i swear it was the EMS....

but you gotta have a damn good reason for running the standalone like the AEM... if you dont have a serious set of mods, its definetly one of the hugest wastes of money you could accomplish.

based on the mods you have, i would say its a bad idea to start thinking about aem, but if you are planning an all out all motor setup, or a turbo setup, thats another story.... obd1 swap, and or standalone is almost a must... however, if you bother to do an obd1 swap, at that point, your best off just buying a wideband, and using one of the many odb1 tuning softwares that are free or hella cheap. :)

yea OBD-1 and chrome is only gonna run you $500.

just for a point of reference, i was quoted $3500 for a full install and tune of an AEM EMS, with 2 maps to choose from, race or daily driven / pump gas or race gas, you get the idea. this included all of the extra sensors and gizmo's that i would need. i thought of that was a fairly reasonable price overal, since proper dyno tuning is something that should cost you between 700-1000 MINIMUM if done by a reputable shop....
