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.

i think the same way jcbass.. i bought rims without tires and i currently cannot afford the tires i want (escta asx's) so i am holding off on buying cheapo tires, because theres no point.

the easiest EMS for our car in my opinion is the apexi power fc for the 3rd gen 3sgte, with minor changes it will be plug and play with our stock wiring harness as far as ive read.. someone correct me if i am wrong on this.
