AEM EMS features haven't been fully discussed here so I didn't know about it being able to advance timing. And Camcon has been mostly hit and miss with it's settings and only adjusts overall ignition timing...not valve timing.

camcom is a joke... unstable, and the ECU fights the timing regardless... so thats 300 bucks out the window for a little gadget that shows a bunch of numbers for nothing...

i am fully aware of the AEM software for the standalone unit..THATS WHY I JUST SAID IT!!! READ ABOVE.. HELLO!...but who is going to throw away 1200-1700 bucks for 10-15 whp.. yea ok..
