Has anyone put one of these together? This would be immensely helpful, but would probably take a good deal of work and input from a number of people. Basically, it would be nice to see a detailed and unbiased list of features, advantages and disadvantages of all the major stand-alone options: Power FC, AEM, Microtech, Haltech...whatever. Also, some subjective reviews of ease of setup and learning curve, and street as well as track performance. My interest is for the FD, although I'm sure there would be interest in something similar from the FC perspective as well. It is just impossible to try to glean this info from all of the many different threads in the various forums dealing with individual systems.

Here is a comparison, but it is outdated.

Comparisons are difficult because everybody has their own preferences, and sometimes an EMS may accomplish a task in a different manner than another brand, which may or may not be an advantage for the user. Also, this industry changes rapidly, so even EMS statistics from 4 months ago are already outdated in some cases.

Every EMS does basically the same thing, and I don't know of any that are just plain bad, so you are not going to make any huge mistakes buying one over the other. I think it really comes down to which one will be easiest for you to understand, and which features you like. Everything else being equal, I recommend getting whichever EMS your mechanic / tuner prefers.

 

Someone should tell them to update the site. For the Power FC they should add the datalogit and put yes for pc programmable and yes for dataloging. I'd also like to see where the AEM fits in there.
