boomslang has the resistors in the PnP harness now...

Even though I listed the F/IC before the Blue, I ran the Blue just fine for nearly 3 years and never had a problem from start to finish, unlike some F/IC people have. It's less of a hassle to setup than an F/IC is. If the ranking was listed based on "hassle" of use, then the order would change.
to be honest with you its not a big hassle at all...its all about lack of knowledge...you see most people that got the fic assumed all you did was plug it up and run a base map...not many were informed about the the hex file you had to flash the fic with. Most all problems can be traced to lack of knowledge of the fic...even the ultimate needs software updates to run a specific model...its no different for the fic

as far as the two resisters mod was an unfortunate oversite on aem's behalf imho, but now that people know about it, its alot simpler. Even now i think boomslang or aem themselves have addressed this issue...im not reall sure though...but i had heard that boomslang (or equivalent harness maker) now has the resisters already integrated into the harnesses now...of course i cant confirm that as of yet.

More of a hassle than an emanage, not hard as in it's rocket science.

AEM FIC Cons
*Harder to setup and get right
*Lots of maps for a piggyback
*Constant fuel trim monitoring
*Hunted pretty bad at idle sometimes

how is it possible to have idle issues with the FI/C? Mine feels stock and as far as too many maps for a piggy back, I consider it a good thing. U get to use different ways if needed to achieve ur goal. As far as partial throttle it is near perfect for me, no on-off botton here, always gradually changing.

That is what Paul Dezod said about the product they offer.
