i have to agree the emanage is still just a piggy back, but i think it should be very capable for the state of tune he is at now. As long as its mated to an obd1 p13, you should be fine. I think the obd2 ecus dont really like piggy backs as much, cuz they basically detune the piggy back in no time. Though I really have no experience messing around with obd2 so i wouldnt know for sure.

I've used the emanage before and was able to tune out 200whp out of a stock h22 with skank 2 cams, stock IM and header too. And the user interface is really easy to understand. so any average joe with a brain should be able to get some decent results with this unit.

The thing you have to consider with the EMS is, your gonna need alot more time to set it up, cuz as far as the base maps they give you for H22s, they suck big time. You really gotta sit down and basically start from scratch with the fuel and ignition maps just to get your car to run ok. And there is alot more learning involved with the EMS as well. so if you plan to tune it yourself, be prepared for alot of askign questions and searching for info, . I spent countless nights messing with the EMS figuring it all out, and I am not even half way through with figuring out all the functions,

What you really have to ask yourself is, how feasible is it for you to get the EMS realisitcally. If its in ur relative near future, don't waste your time and money with the greddy emanage. Cuz not only will u waste the money buyig the emange, but ur gonna have to hack up ur harness to install it and then uninstall it later.

If I were in your position, I would get an EMS if i had enough money to play with, including the costs of the ems itself and dyno time to set it up.

If I were on a lower budget, i wouldn't think twice about grabbing the emanage and dyno tuning it. Just make sure to get all the optional harnesses with it, like the fuel one and the ignition one.

But ulitimately, EMS ownz j00
