I hate AEM. Over-priced and under-supported.

And yes, I do have actual experience with it (this isn't internet hear-say about why AEM sucks). I am in the process of trying to get a research motor to run on one.

Dodge cummins Holsets are popular for the 20+ psi 2.3 crowd. I hear they spool kind of late though....
