January 6th, 2003, Hawthorne, CA—Advanced Engine Management (AEM) is pleased to announce that it has acquired the business of DC Sports Inc. The purchase of DC Sports Inc. brings together two of the pioneer sport compact manufacturers, who collectively deliver products with unmatched performance from air filter to exhaust tip and everything in between!
“We are excited about DC Sports becoming a part of the family,” stated AEM President Greg Neuwirth. “DC Sports built its reputation with leading edge R&D and manufacturing processes, and a high commitment to quality. This quality is well represented in all of DC Sports products and makes them a natural fit with AEM.”
Brothers Darrick and Darrell Contreras founded DC Sports in 1987. The company designs and manufactures headers, exhaust systems, strut bars, tie rods and accessories for the sport compact market at its 60,000 square-foot facility in Corona, California. DC Sports utilizes the latest technology to create innovative designs and unmatched fitment including computerized CNC lathes, mills and benders, and robotic plasma cutters and robotic welders. All products are dyno-tested on the company’s Dynapack Chassis dyno or Dynamic Testing Systems dyno to guarantee unmatched performance.
Commented DC Sports’s Darrell Contreras, “This acquisition could not have come at a better time. We’ve been hard at work developing products for Chevy, Hyundai, Infiniti, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, SCION, Subaru, Toyota and VW. Having AEM’s marketing and distribution resources behind us will get these products to market faster and allow us to grow at an exponential rate in the future!”
DC Sports will retain its name, and all R&D and manufacturing for DC Sports Inc. will remain in Corona, California. Darrick and Darrell Contreras will continue product development and engineering, and oversee manufacturing. All accounting, sales, and administrative duties will be conducted at AEM/DC Sports headquarters at 2205 126th Street, Unit A, Hawthorne, CA 90250. Any correspondence for DC Sports should be mailed to the preceding address. Telephone calls and faxes should be directed to AEM/DC Sports headquarters at (310) 484-2322, and (310) 484-0152 fax.

Extraordinarily complicated, but it's capable of doing nearly everything you want. You can totally reprogram the inputs and outputs for each pin. The new versions have code for turbo anti-lag and some traction control features...
Aside from not being truly 'universal' like some systems, it's a complete standalone unit a la Haltech, Electromotive, Motec, etc.

Is it made for specific applications?
Im looking at piggyback computers(a friend of mine runs a GT2540 turbo and big injectors with no issues on an Apex Power FC or AFC or whatever theyre piggyback is called), but the Haltech, TEC-3 etc have all been highly reccomended. My problem is, ive never really done any tuning work and dont wanna dive in head first, yet I have grand plans :happysad:
