I got AEM EMS I made a mistake and buying it without doing research (as in what sensors I needed to get) but I like it

AEM is excellent. HOWEVER the cost, and the amount of tuning hours it takes to even begin to approach what it can do is a bit extreme.

i've had hondata and it wasn't all that...matt shue tuned my car with uberdata (i think this was right before he started just tuning w/crome) and it runs PERFECT like it came from the factory.

Even though Crome has the option to change the factory fuel pressure, are you still running a stock fuel reg or aftermarket Adj Reg?

Choose a tuner.

Talk to them about what software they tune.

My tuner uses Crome, I'm using Crome.

See where I'm going with this?

Although, I'd like to have Hondata S300 because of the ease of tuning.

For the both of yous, was it the TUNE you had on hondata that makes you say it was junk/not all that? Or did you actually have a problem with the software? Reason why I ask is because isnt Crome/uberdata a knockoff of Hondata?

Exactly. I personally would get something that you can tune with yourself. That way you have the choice to either tune it yourself or get someone else to tune it for you and they wont need any burner or fancy software to do it.

I have S200 and have not once had a problem, i plan on getting S300 so i can tune my car myself.

That must have been it! I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact I was putting like 700hp through a stock honda tranny. lol

I was referring to setting up all the features like gear dependant boost, traction control, etc etc.
