Jester also doesn't run the car all the time at the 500whp setting from what I remember him saying. Hey, it don't matter to me anymore cuz I said all I could. If someone still wants to trust him after all that crap, then go ahead. Eventually they'll get f*cked up the a$$.
Again, take it to T1 and stay far away from Kenny Strickler.

Today I installed the AEM on the 2007 tC RS 3.0 and after I made the accomodations to my injectors and MAP sensor it fired up . Then I began the tuning process and it now idles on its own .....

The car doesn't idle at all if the IAC is disconnected and I don't know why. The Air conditioning didn't worked and I had to hard wire it to the harness and configure it on the software. Apparently the EMS was not tested on the 2007 model!!! The lack of documentation makes things very,very time consuming as I don't have any reference of the harness and where are things connected on the AEM EMS, IF they are connected at all.
Overall the car is running strong at 10 psi and I will be pushing about 18psi by the end of the day as I will be tuning it on the Dyno tonight.

The car competes in NASA's PTE & TTE classes along with Grand AM ST ckass as well.
As far as the idle is concerned, that is correct due to the fact that the fuel pump, cam, crank and several other components are stripped from the stock ECU it basically quivers and submits itself to not idling.

If I go with the Hydra EMS I will have to be tuned by Kenny Strickler..... so I like the HYDRA but what would you guys do in this situation
