Which would you go with?

I am looking into standalones for my 88 TII. I was very interested in the electromotive TEC3 and/or Haltech e6x. A local tuner told me not to go with either of those two, because the 'tecnology is old'. His opinion was to go with the AEM. Just curious, what are your opinions and which would you go with if you were going to spend the money?

he is probably not a rotary guy so i wouldn't have him tune your car. Anyways most people with rotaries are running e6k or microtech. personally I'm running microtech and it seems to work well for what it does and has a tendency to be a little bit cheaper than the e6k however now a days they are roughly about the same price used.

Theres hardly ne difference in tuning. Lots of peeps tune both rotaries and piston engines no problem. Guys who say theres a lot of diff are teh ones who dont know how to tune both and make it out like they are an xpert when truth is they dont have much xperience tuning nething but one engine. Also hondas dont suck lol.

Why not Rtek 2.0? Very reasonably priced and offers a lot of features. We're just getting up to speed with ours. It's damn cool!

Well aem is good however there are plenty of people running a haltech with great results. The e6x does have some issues so maybe thats why he was saying that however aem is just very expensive and is not needed for most applications. Infact the only guy I know with the aem said he would rather have an e6k. Oh yeah and I know hondas don't suck, everyone needs to get groceries
