The new one needs more coils, I will say that once he had this setup dialed in it was the smoothest car I ever drove, it literally felt like a electric powered car.

I am thinking about doing that as well, I have been reading about them here:
http://forum.aempower.com/bbs/viewforum.php?f=50

So far a couple of our members seem to be having some issues with them, and from the looks of it, the tech support leaves alot to be desired.
I currently run and msd, but would really like to switch to a one box does all for the whole ignition for a cleaner install, the AEM price looks really quite attractive, and I could get one quickly, but they seem to experiment on thier customers rather than sell stuff that seems to work..

93Blackfd, Jspecracer7 or t04rx-7 have any updates or info?
It would be nice if it did work like intended, but the success stories so far, are more rare than the tales of dud-ism.....Max

All that money spent on four spark plugs where two do 99% of the work. Hmm.

By the way, in this picture:
Are the boxes in danger of inadquate cooling?
