Utter garbage unless they've actually found a way to fix the thing.

Different name, but it looks like the same thing.

Read up and you'll see what the issues were.

rule of thumb: compared to similarly priced competitors, AEM electronics are garbage--with the exception of the AEM EMS itself

Blew my motor on the dyno with it. I'd stay far away! It took a dump on me at 30psi and 9000rpms when I was making over 800rwhp.

Wow, I remember back at Gotham in like 2003 the AEM ignition amp was a big piece of poo and constantly failing. Flash forward 6+ years and nothing has changed.

Ernie, that freaking suck---- sorry to hear it

sounds like the Twin Fire complements their featureless, unreliable, and poorly made early production widebands as well as their dumb-as-a-rock open loop EBC
