EMS or not?, not like i can afford it yet but looking towards the future Options

[jcbass7]

Ok so i guess i need to start by saying what my goals are...

I have no set HP number i plan to reach but i want it to be up there, atleast 350 when i'm done. My car will have almost 3 years of down time/ driven very rarely between june of 2007 and sept 2010. During which i will be at the US Coas Guard Academy, learning .. but making a weekly paycheck with no studnet loans etc. I have one plan for that money and it is my car.

I am just wrapping up my swap (3sgte) and am toying with the idea of buying a SAFC II

but instead of getting into buying piggyback's i think the idea of buying a full EMS sounds more practical in the long run.

I like the plug and play AEM EMS that is offered, is that my best option? or should i really just get the piggy back and go from there?

my near future plans are:
FMIC
3" exhaust
Down Pipe $ Headers



My future plans are a better turbo, forged internals, AWD, etc. yes thats right AWD i'm determined


What are your thoughts?

feel free to critize my ideas, i'm just trying to plan out which roads i need to take so i can purchase accordingly.

DO NOT BUY AN SAFC. because of the way our fuel and timing controls are combined in the 3s ecu, and safc is not recmended by most 3s owners

my near future plans are:
FMIC
3" exhaust
Down Pipe $ Headers

those will give you great gains over what you have now. you dont need any type of ems or piggy back for those mods.

if you are really going to rebuild the block, upgrade the turbo, etc... then just wait to buy an ems then. at that point it will pretty much be a must have item for your setup.
