With lighter mods, it's even safe to boost a few psi without tuning. With the AEM, all I've seen are stories of cars not being able to idle or even START without extensive work. Perhaps things have changed a little bit since it's been a while since I kept up with the AEM.

Still, you have to admit that AEM did a **** job of preparing the product (which was delayed about a year over it's predicted release IIRC). The recent debacle with their ignition amp coupled with their ecu issues makes me wary of their company in general.
I am running the PFC in my car, but my car was running within minutes of plugging it in. Using the innovate wb, it took little time to get a nice idle. The interface is much more intuitve than the datalog it. I've never seen the official Apexi software.

The PFC is no doubt easier, but I think the AEM has the potential to be nicer. One of these days I may buy one of those for sale from a frustrated impatient user.

Given the experience level of most car owners, its probably wise to recommend the PFC over trhe AEM.
