    I have tuned 2J NAT cars with a lot of different engine management systems and piggybacks. Apex SAFCs, NEOs, Haltechs, Map Ecus, Electromotive Tec 3s, Emanage Blues, Emanage Ultimates, etc.

    AEM is by far the best engine management out there for your car. I would compare it to a Motec but it has more features. I can say this because the AEM software is not confusing to me at all. After you have used it a lot and you understand what all the tables do and how they affect each other it is a LOT more powerful than any other engine management system out there.

    I tune an average of 3 AEM units a week and I run them on my personal cars as well. If you want something that is the best aftermarket ecu with all the bells and whistles that you could want then get it. If you are planning on tuning it yourself then expect to spend a lot of time learning the software and possibly an engine.

    I would not recommend a megasquirt for that car. You can go with another piggyback computer like an emanage but you have to make sure your fuel trims are correct. If you have an obd2 car then you really have to make sure your fuel trims are correct so the stock ecu does not mess with the tune. You will make more power with an AEM.

    A perfect example is the last 2J NAT car we did. It made 350 rwhp on an emanage ultimate. It made 400 hp on the AEM at the same boost and the same fuel. It just works better and the commands that you are giving the engine actually get to the engine without being interpreted by the stock ecu.

    Thank you. I have always known and heard how great the AEM is but i have never had hands on with it. Thanks for all your input. Its nice to have intelligent responses for once.
