Basically, i like the safety parameters of the stock ECU....something silly happens(like a failing sensor, ect) and the ECU is there to pull timing if need be. A perfectly tuned AEM has been known to net about 10whp more than a perfectly tuned xede(atleast in the evo world).

I just think flashes suck the kak

well both my PowerFC and my LINK are both plug'n'play systems and both have all the same built in safety parameters that the stock ECU had and then some. the SDS which was a super basic setup even had provisions to program that stuff in, it just took a bit more tuning when the others had that stuff pre-programmed.
