The AEM been available for almost a year..It has does have some issues that make the car undriveable for some. The PFC is truely PNP, while the AEM requires a laptop to load the Base map.I've used both and while the aem has serious problems I like it much more.

ive heard rumours you get full tech support and upgrades and what not for life with the AEM. Is that true?

aka once they worked bugs out you would be set thanks to an update?

i will let you know how mine goes, im planning to start the car tomorrow. as far as plug and play i think haltech has a system also.

as far as which one to get is really up to you and your goals. power fc has its limits. so if your looking for some crazy horsepower then go with aem or haltech

Ever heard of MSRP?http://www.autocarparts.com/cars/Nissan/ALL/AEM/$1400 for the ems is a great price. You'd probably spend almost as much on a PFC/datalogit/EBC/Z32 MAF.
