Well now, i'm far from an expert. There are guys here that will be able to give specific details, where as i'm just gonna touch on what i know. And what i know is that nobody can tell you what exact tuning you'll need based on a list of mods, etc. Even if they had the same setup down to the plug wires, there's still to many variables for it to be the same "tune."
Big things to concentrate on when tuning are; Detonation/knock...perhaps someone can explain the differences between the two since this is a grey area for me. Either way, a combination of adjusting your A/F and timing...higher octane also helps since it allow you to run leaner A/F's and more advanced timing, both as we know increase hp...this is why WD is always talking about methanal because it octane rating is through the roof...
I too want the AEM EMS, for 3 main reasons...I hate piggy backs (never work together right and are just lying to the cpu to get it to do what u want, also your stuck with nissans ignition map), the plug n play of course, and they're known for their great base maps. But the base map will be for a N/A setup, where your running boost you wanna start out with either really low boost and gradually tune to meet the power or develop a entirely new base map...which isn't for me...
I have a good idea on how to tune but limited experence...i can't wait to get the EMS when its released for the 95's so i can start a KA-T project without all the hassles of piggy backs...
Sorry if i went off topic, but we need a good post on tuning...so hopefully all the experenced guys will pitch in...
