Should I get a Apexi FC or Apexi Pro?

Iam looking into getting a PFC, but I wish I knew more about these two verisons, which one is better? or is there only a little difference? I heard that the Pro has something to do with launch control, can any care to explain? Thanks

Go for the AEM EMS its user friendly! The apexi Power fc has to be programmed by a pro!

That my opinion. Im trying to trade or sell my computer! For the AEM setup!

do not get an EMS if your on a budget. it must be tuned on a dyno from srcatch. its better tuning but very expensive.

Unless you know how to tune from scratch, AEM is not the way to go. Neither computer is user friendly enough that its gonna teach you how to tune. AEM doesn't come with a well develop if developed at all base map. I see no user support in the form of other rotary owners. If you get datalogit in addition to the PFC then u can be on their Rx7 mailing group. Datalogit is still being developed and will be adding more features in the future.

Auto-tuning is the only feature I'd like to have from the AEM and that is being develped for the PFC by Datalogit. Remember that auto tuning is not like cruise control, you need to know what's going on.

The Power FC Pro is not another computer. Its a chip that can be added to older (ver. 2.xx) Power FC's. Nice to have since it cuts ignition rather than fuel but not much use otherwise unless you race seriously.
