power fc is a real standalone system.

there really is no comparison.

sr + power fc (especially if you go hardcore & get d-jetro, but that will require retuning) = win

Basically if you have the money go with the PowerFC. What are your mods? What motor are you running? Is there a shop around you that is familiar with either system? Give us some more info here.

I wouldn't get it and installed before doing your mods. Save up and do it all at once. To get a PFC tuned properly will take some dyno time so count on $500+ just to tune it. Your stock ECU will be fine until then. But yea as far as the tuner, AEM > PowerFC > E-Manage.

If it's cheap, go for it.

AEM/Haltech>Power FC>ROM>E manage... The emanage is more of a piggy back computer rather than a complete standalone.

PowerFC with the commander can be had for like $700.

But if you want, save a little more and go with the Haltec E8.

Ever think about using megasquirt? Its cheap and you learn so much from setting it up. Its also fully tuneable, every aspect of everything. My 2 cents
